On the first day of Parliament’s Monsoon Session, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged bias after being denied the opportunity to speak in the Lok Sabha despite holding the position of Leader of the Opposition. Gandhi stated that while Defence Minister and other government officials were allowed to speak, opposition leaders were silenced. He criticized the government’s “new approach” and noted Prime Minister Modi’s abrupt exit from the House. The session was marked by chaos and adjournments, with the Opposition demanding an immediate discussion on Operation Sindoor. Gandhi emphasized that convention dictates equal speaking rights, asserting, “We wanted to speak, but were not allowed.” (PC: Deccan Herald)
