New Delhi:
BJP MPs are planning to move a breach of privilege motion against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi after he claimed on the floor of the parliament that Chinese troops were present on Indian soil, said sources. This triggered an uproar in Lok Sabha yesterday with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accusing the Congress leader of lying.
Replying to President’s address during the Budget Session, Mr Gandhi had launched an all-out attack on the government. The Modi government, he alleged in speech in the Lok Sabha, had failed in boosting the manufacturing sector – which was responsible for the presence of Chinese troops on Indian soil.
The BJP MPs are considering to bring the privilege notice against Mr Gandhi if he fails to provide evidence for his claims, sources told NDTV.
A breach of privilege notice is a legislative tool that can be invoked against members found misusing any of his rights or misleading the parliament.
