On Leader of the Opposition (LoP), Rahul Gandhi, citing a published article with excerpts from the book by former Army chief General Manoj Naravane in the Lok Sabha over the India-China standoff, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday stated that he was quoting from a published source which he had authenticated, and questioned what the problem was in him speaking about it in the House.
This comes as a fresh bout of confrontation between Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and the BJP erupted in the Lok Sabha over General M.M. Naravane’s unpublished memoir.
Citation from the book in the House had also triggered a massive ruckus on Monday and Tuesday and subsequently eight Congress MPs were suspended on Tuesday over alleged “unruly behaviour”.
