Congress MP Moves Privilege Motion Against Minister Over 'No Firing' Claim in Parliament
Congress MP K.C. Venugopal moved a Privilege Motion against Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh, accusing him of misleading Parliament by claiming no firing occurred during recent student protests. Venugopal cited media reports, hospital records, and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi's meeting with a pellet gun victim as evidence contradicting Singh's statement. The motion seeks referral to the Committee of Privileges for examination. The dispute highlights ongoing political tensions over the government's handling of the protests and related legislation.
