Parliamentary Minister Kiren Rijiju Calls Out Unparliamentary Language

Kiren Rijiju, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, publicly rebuked Rahul Gandhi for employing words that breach the norms of the Indian Parliament. In a statement made on the House floor, Rijiju said, “The language used today does not align with the standards set for any member of this august institution.” He urged Gandhi to respect the established guidelines and promised that the Speaker would monitor any further misuse. The minister also referenced previous occasions when the Prime Minister’s speeches were curtailed and when opposition members had attempted to disrupt proceedings, suggesting a pattern of non‑compliance with parliamentary etiquette.
