Rahul Gandhi Cites Former Army Chief Naravane's Memoir on Ladakh Standoff Amid Parliamentary Dispute

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi cited excerpts from former Army Chief General M.M. Naravane's unpublished memoir, alleging Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not take clear responsibility during the 2020 India-China Ladakh standoff and told the Army to act as it deemed fit. Gandhi displayed the book in Parliament, challenging Modi to respond, but was repeatedly stopped from quoting it, leading to Opposition protests and suspension of MPs. The government denied the book's existence and opposed its citation, citing parliamentary rules. Supporters of Gandhi called for open debate, while BJP representatives defended Modi's leadership and criticized politicization of military matters. The controversy disrupted Lok Sabha proceedings and delayed Modi's scheduled speech.
