Speaker Om Birla also intervened, urging Gandhi to make statements based on facts and maintain the dignity of the House. AdvertisementOpposition members responded by raising slogans of “Rahul ji ko bolne do (Let Rahul speak)”, leading to noisy scenes in the House. Earlier in his speech, Gandhi defended the protesting students, saying they had shown courage in standing up to the BJP and the RSS. Rijiju objected to the remarks, saying Gandhi was using an objectionable expression in the House through the anecdote. Gandhi responded: “But I didn’t use it for you.”
