Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that Home Minister Amit Shah speaks abusively inside Lok Sabha, yet the Chair does not stop him.

The Opposition MPs objected to this comment, during which Shah claimed the Chair could delete the offensive word.

She said, “Amit Shah uses abusive words inside the House, and the Speaker does not even stop him.” The Opposition’s resolution alleged that Birla biased and acted like a spokesperson for the ruling party.
