Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a sharp swipe at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge in the Rajya Sabha while replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address. The Prime Minister’s speech came amid loud sloganeering from Opposition MPs, who repeatedly raised chants demanding that the Leader of the Opposition be allowed to speak. As tensions rose in the House, PM Modi used the moment to counter Opposition criticism and defend his government’s record, while also taking political jabs that triggered further protests. The exchange highlighted the growing friction between the government and the Opposition over parliamentary procedure and debate space.
