Rahul Gandhi faces expulsion threat as BJP MP plans LS motion; Rijiju flags ‘nonsense against PM Modi’, explains move

Rahul Gandhi is facing a potential expulsion from the Lok Sabha following a motion initiated by a BJP MP, which has raised significant political tensions. Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has criticized Gandhi for what he termed 'nonsense' directed at Prime Minister Modi, indicating that the government is taking the matter seriously. The Substantive Motion, once admitted, will be discussed with the Speaker to determine whether it should proceed to committee review or be brought directly to the House. This development comes amidst ongoing debates regarding the accountability of public figures and the responsibilities of elected representatives in India. The situation illustrates the escalating conflict between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress party, particularly in the context of recent political controversies and public discourse surrounding the Prime Minister's policies. The outcome of this motion could have significant implications for Gandhi's political career and the broader dynamics within the Indian parliamentary landscape.
