The Lok Sabha session resumed amid significant controversy following Monday's disruption triggered by Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi's reference to former Army Chief General M.M. Naravane's unpublished memoir. The parliamentary proceedings were suspended after Gandhi attempted to cite the unreleased text during discussions concerning the 2020 India-China border conflict, directing criticism toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. This incident has escalated political tensions, with the ruling coalition condemning the use of unofficial military documents in parliamentary debate as inappropriate and potentially compromising national security protocols. The opposition Congress party has scheduled an emergency strategy meeting at 10:30 AM today to coordinate their parliamentary approach. Analysts suggest this development reflects deepening political polarization over national security narratives and could impact legislative productivity. The situation underscores ongoing challenges in maintaining parliamentary decorum while addressing sensitive defense matters, with implications for inter-party relations and governance stability.
