The Maharashtra legislative council was adjourned on Monday following a heated confrontation between BJP and Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) legislators over a controversial remark by Lok Sabha opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. Gandhi's assertion that those identifying themselves as Hindus are perpetuating violence and hate sparked the altercations.

BJP legislator Prasad Lad initiated the debate, condemning Gandhi's remarks and accusing him of insulting Hindus. His objections received sharp retorts from opposition leaders Ambadas Danve (Shiv Sena UBT) and Congress legislators, leading to a series of disruptions and short adjournments.

As tensions escalated, Deputy Chairperson Neelam Gorhe adjourned the council for the day, urging both sides to hold discussions with their party leaders before revisiting the matter.
