Congress MP Seeks Action Against BJP's Sambit Patra

Congress MP Manickam Tagore has formally requested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to take action against BJP MP Sambit Patra for using 'slanderous language' towards Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, branding him a 'traitor of the highest order'. Tagore's letter emphasizes that Patra's comments, which link Gandhi to billionaire George Soros and the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), violate parliamentary decorum and undermine the dignity of the legislature. The controversy escalated during a chaotic Lok Sabha session, where BJP MP Nishikant Dubey echoed similar accusations, claiming a conspiracy against the Modi government. Tagore condemned the remarks as disrespectful and urged for immediate disciplinary measures against Patra. The situation has sparked intense protests from Congress members, leading to multiple adjournments of the session. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized the opposition's tactics, labeling them as attempts to disrupt parliamentary proceedings.
