After Rahul Gandhi in Parliament made statements regarding NEET-UG and Agniveer, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju slammed the Leader of Opposition and said Gandhi would have to face the rules of the house if he has lied. Rijiju also said that being in the post of LoP, he cannot lie and mislead people.

In a joint press conference along with BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi and Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Rijiju said, "All those unverified statements made by Rahul Gandhi, we have challenged instantly. We have made a request to the Speaker to pass a direction that if we have made an unverified statement then we are ready to take a corrective course."
