New Delhi: A fiery face-off took place between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha. The face-off took place during the debate on electoral reforms.
Gandhi dared the HM to first speak on the thinking behind election commissioners being given full immunity, a point he had raised during his speech on Tuesday. He also asked the HM to have a debate on his press conference. "Amit Shah ji, I challenge you to have a debate on the 3 PCs," he Said.
"I want to make something clear. I have been elected to legislative assemblies and the Parliament for 30 years. I have extensive experience. The Leader of the Opposition says he wants me to answer this or that question first. Let me make this clear to him, The Parliament will not work based on your wishes. I will decide the order in which I say things. He should be patient and hear my reply," HM Shah Said, lashing out at Gandhi.
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi reportedly submitted a formal note of dissent during a high-level meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to finalise appointments to major transparency institutions, including the Central Information Commission (CIC) and the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).
