'He did not question the Opposition’s nationalism,’ Amit Shah rejects Rahul Gandhi’s allegation

A heated exchange erupted in the Lok Sabha after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi cited excerpts from the memoir of former Army chief General M.M. Naravane during his speech. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah objected, citing parliamentary rules as the book is yet to be officially published.Rahul Gandhi defended his remarks, saying he spoke after BJP MP Tejasvi Surya questioned the Congress party’s patriotism, asserting, “Our patriotism is not buried.” Amit Shah rejected the allegation, telling the House that Surya did not question the nationalism or character of the Opposition. As protests escalated, Speaker Om Birla intervened and later adjourned the House.
