Clash in Parliament: Rahul Gandhi Raises Voice Against Speaker's Allegations

Rahul Gandhi accused Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla of running the House non-democratically. Gandhi claims he was denied the chance to speak, violating a convention allowing the Leader of the Opposition to have a voice. Congress MPs raised these concerns, emphasizing the necessity of democratic discussion.

On Wednesday, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi escalated his stand against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, accusing the latter of operating the House in a 'non-democratic style'.

Gandhi alleged that he was unjustly denied the chance to speak, an act which he claims breaches parliamentary tradition. This followed remarks by Speaker Birla urging members to uphold the House's dignity.

Congress representatives, led by deputies including Gaurav Gogoi, brought this matter to the Speaker's attention, highlighting that such practices undermine the opposition's role in a democratic setting.
