The Lok Sabha witnessed a massive uproar after Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack, saying, “The truth is, the magician has been caught. The magician of Balakot, the magician of demonetisation… has suddenly been caught.”
The remark, seen as an indirect jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, immediately triggered protests from the ruling benches.

Gandhi’s mention of “magician of Balakot” drew strong objections, with BJP leaders accusing him of undermining the Indian Army’s action during the 2019 Balakot airstrike.
Several members slammed the analogy, alleging it reduced a military operation to a “magic show,” sparking loud protests inside the House.

Speaker Om Birla intervened, urging Gandhi to stick to the subject and maintain parliamentary decorum.
