The Madhya Pradesh assembly was adjourned on Tuesday following turmoil provoked by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks in the Lok Sabha.

During the question hour, BJP MLA Sitasharan Sharma criticized Gandhi for his statements about Hindus in his maiden speech as Leader of Opposition, demanding an apology.

Sharma's comments triggered a verbal clash between BJP and Opposition MLAs, prompting Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar to call for order and subsequently adjourn the house for 15 minutes amid escalating slogan-shouting.

Gandhi, in his speech, accused the ruling BJP of promoting 'violence and hate' under the guise of Hinduism, which led to fierce objections from BJP members and a rebuttal from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Gandhi clarified that his comments were directed at the BJP, the RSS, and Modi, not the entire Hindu community.
