The Lok Sabha faced a tumultuous session as exchanges between BJP leader Nishikant Dubey and Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi escalated, resulting in a suspension of proceedings until 2 pm. The confrontation began when Dubey accused Congress of endangering national interests through associations with foreign reports.

Dubey referenced a report by Mediapart about the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and alleged that opposition efforts were aimed at derailing the government. He posed questions about Rahul Gandhi's alliances, sparking a heated response from Gogoi who defended Gandhi's intentions for peace.

In the midst of the uproar, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla called the proceedings to a halt. The confrontation highlighted deep divisions, with each party accusing the other of fabricating lies and obstructing parliamentary progress.
