Congress MP Manickam Tagore seeks action over "inaccurate" statements by PM Modi and Anurag Thakur in Lok Sabha

New Delhi [India], July 4 : Congress MP Manickam Tagore wrote a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla, on Thursday, alleging that the Prime Minister and BJP MP Anurag Thakur made "inaccurate" and "Incorrect" statements in Parliament and sought action in the matter.
In a self-made video on X, Tagore said, "Today, I wrote to the Speaker requesting him to initiate action against the incorrect and inaccurate statements of Prime Minister and Anurag Thakur in the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President in Parliament."
Earlier, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday wrote a letter to Om Birla requesting the restoration of remarks expunged from his speech against the central government led by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He stated that he sought to "convey the ground reality in the House."
Rahul Gandhi asserted that every member of the House has the freedom of speech and the right to raise people's concerns.
The Leader of Opposition said that expunging his remarks made in the Lok Sabha is against the tenets of parliamentary democracy.
"It is that right and in exercise of my obligations to the people of the country that I was exercising yesterday. Taking off my considered remarks from the records goes against the very tenets of parliamentary democracy," he said.
Highlighting BJP MP Anurag Thakur's speech in the Lok Sabha, the Leader of Opposition said, "In this context, I also wish to draw attention to the speech of Shri Anurag Thakur, whose speech was full of allegations; however, surprisingly, only one word has been expunged! With due respect to your good self, this selective expunction defies logic. I request that the remarks expunged from the proceedings be restored."
After Rahul Gandhi's maiden speech created political heat, several portions of his address targeting the central government were expunged from the records of Parliament on Monday.
In his speech in Lok Sabha on Monday afternoon, during the debate on the motion of thanks on President Draupadi Murmu's address, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP and RSS of preaching and spreading violence and hatred. His remarks drew protests from the Treasury benches.
