Lok Sabha Committee of Privileges Issues Notice to Rahul Gandhi Over Alleged Derogatory Language<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a significant development, the Lok Sabha Committee of Privileges has issued a notice to Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, seeking his response by August 28, on a breach of privilege notice submitted to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla by BJP MP Anurag Thakur.<\/p>\n

The Controversy Unfolds<\/strong><\/p>\n

The controversy began on July 30, when Thakur moved a privilege notice against Rahul Gandhi for allegedly using unparliamentary and derogatory language during the debate on the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. Thakur alleged that Rahul Gandhi had made grave allegations against Home Minister Amit Shah without adequate advance notice under Rule 353.<\/p>\n

A Pattern of Unparliamentary Language?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a letter dated July 29, BJP MP Dr. Sanjay Jaiswal requested the Speaker to take cognizance of Rahul Gandhi’s alleged use of unparliamentary expressions against the Home Minister during the debate. Jaiswal urged the Speaker to initiate appropriate action under the Rules of Procedure, including directing Rahul Gandhi to tender an unconditional apology to the House and the Union Home Minister.<\/p>\n

Grounds for the Motion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thakur cited several grounds for the motion against Rahul Gandhi, including the alleged use of unparliamentary and derogatory language, making remarks outside the scope of the motion under debate, and making grave allegations against the Union Home Minister without adequate advance notice. Thakur argued that Rahul Gandhi’s remarks during the debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, were a direct violation of several rules, including Rule 352(ii), which bars a Member from making personal references, and Rule 352(iii), which prohibits the use of offensive expressions.<\/p>\n

A Matter of Dignity and Contempt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thakur termed Rahul Gandhi’s allegations against Union Home Minister Amit Shah that he ordered the “shooting” of students during the July 20 march to Parliament without adequate advance notice as a “violation of Rule 353 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha.” He argued that the use of derogatory language and making grave allegations without adequate notice is not only unparliamentary but also demeans the dignity of Parliament, constituting contempt of the House.<\/p>\n

A Response from Rahul Gandhi?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lok Sabha Committee of Privileges has now issued a notice to Rahul Gandhi, seeking his response by August 28. It remains to be seen how Rahul Gandhi will respond to the allegations and whether he will tender an unconditional apology to the House and the Union Home Minister. The development is significant, as it highlights the importance of maintaining decorum and dignity in the Lok Sabha, and the need for Members to adhere to the rules of procedure and conduct of business.<\/p>\n

A Test of Parliament’s Resolve<\/strong><\/p>\n

The issue is also a test of Parliament’s resolve to maintain its dignity and ensure that Members adhere to the rules of procedure and conduct of business. The Lok Sabha Committee of Privileges has taken a significant step in issuing a notice to Rahul Gandhi, and it is now up to him to respond and defend his actions. The development is a reminder that Members of Parliament have a responsibility to uphold the dignity of the House and maintain the trust of the people who elected them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
