Nishikant Dubey moves motion against Rahul Gandhi
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: BJP Member of Parliament Nishikant Dubey on Thursday said he has moved a motion in the Lok Sabha against Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lower House of Parliament Rahul Gandhi, while accusing him of misleading the country.
Dubey is seeking termination of his parliamentary membership and a lifetime ban on the Congress leader on contesting elections.
"I have moved a motion in Lok Sabha today against Rahul Gandhi on how he is misleading the nation with the help of forces like (George) Soros, who want to harm the nation. In the motion I have moved, I have requested that Rahul Gandhi's membership should be terminated and he should be barred for life from contesting elections," Dubey told the news agency.
This comes after Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha yesterday, in which he accused the Central government of compromising national interests.
Earlier,Reiterating his claim that Congress MPs had abused Speaker Om Birla inside his chamber, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday said that the BJP believes in debate and discussion and does not support any form of physical or verbal intimidation.
In a post on social media platform X, Rijiju shared what he described as an "illegal video" recorded by a Congress MP. He alleged that around 20-25 Congress MPs entered the Speaker's chamber, abused him and threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"This is the illegal video clip taken by a Congress MP when 20-25 Congress MPs entered the Chamber of Hon'ble Speaker, abused him and threatened Honb'le Prime Minister. Our party believes in debate & discussion and never encourage MPs to threaten physically," Rijiju wrote on 'X'.
Earlier on Wednesday, Kiren Rijiju alleged that Congress members entered the Speaker's chamber and verbally abused him.
Speaking to reporters, Rijiju said the Speaker was "deeply hurt" by the incident and that he had personally spoken to him. He also referred to a dispute in the House regarding speaking permissions. He said that after the Speaker issued a ruling, it was allegedly not followed. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi stated he did not need anyone's permission to speak and would speak as he wished.
"As I said, the Speaker is very hurt. I have even spoken to the Speaker. They (Congress MPs) went to the Speaker's chamber and abused him, said bad things. Then the Speaker gave a ruling, which was not followed and then Rahul Gandhi said that he does not need anyone's permission to speak. He will speak as per his wish, without any rules... Unless permission is given by the Chair, members cannot speak in the House. Even the Prime Minister will speak only with the permission of the Chair. Everyone speaks only with permission," said Rijiju.
According to Rijiju, around 20-25 Congress MPs entered the Speaker's chamber and used inappropriate language. He further claimed that senior Congress leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and KC Venugopal, were present in the chamber and were encouraging the protesting MPs.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said the government itself has acknowledged that the world is facing a global storm, with the era of a single superpower coming to an end, intensifying geopolitical conflicts, and the weaponisation of energy and finance. Despite recognising this reality, he alleged, the government has allowed the United States to weaponise energy and financial systems in ways that affect India.
"You yourself admit that we are facing a global storm that the era of one superpower is over, that geopolitical conflicts are intensifying, and that energy and finance are being weaponised. Yet, despite acknowledging this reality, you have allowed the United States to weaponise energy and financial systems in ways that impact us. When America says we cannot buy oil from a particular country, it effectively means our energy security is being dictated externally that energy itself is being weaponised against us. Are you not ashamed of this? I am saying you have compromised India's interests," he said.
Raising concerns over tariffs, Gandhi said the average tariff had increased from around 3 per cent to 18 per cent, a 6 times rise. At the same time, he claimed that US imports into India are projected to increase from USD 46 billion to USD 146 billion.
He termed the situation "absurd," alleging that India was committing to increase imports by nearly 100 billion dollars annually without receiving firm commitments in return.
