Channi Files Privilege Motion Against Modi

Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi has filed a Privilege Motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for promoting remarks made by BJP MP Anurag Thakur that were expunged from the Lok Sabha records. The remarks in question involved references to Rahul Gandhi's caste amid a debate on the Union Budget, which sparked significant controversy and uproar among opposition MPs. In his speech, Thakur criticized Congress, referenced alleged scams, and questioned their stance on caste quotas, leading to heated exchanges with Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav. Prime Minister Modi praised Thakur's speech on X, calling it a 'must hear' blend of facts and humor that exposes the 'dirty politics' of the INDI Alliance. Channi argued that promoting expunged remarks undermines parliamentary decorum and constitutes contempt of the House. Despite the controversy, Gandhi and other opposition leaders remain steadfast in their demand for a caste census.
