The Parliament is likely to witness a stormy session on Monday as the Congress party will step up its protest over the disqualification of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. This will be the first time the House convenes after Rahul Gandhi's disqualification.
The Opposition leaders will meet on Monday in the Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge's chamber in Parliament to discuss the strategy for the floor, reported ANI.
The Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will also wear black to the Parliament to register their protest. "We are planning that all our MPs come dressed in black tomorrow i.e. March 27, 2023. I request you to kindly do so that a powerful collective message is sent," Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said in a message to MPs in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The Congress will also raise the Adani issue in Parliament. The party has been seeking a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani issue, which has created a logjam in the Parliament.
This comes as the Congress leaders and workers held protests across the country on Sunday over Rahul's disqualification. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accused the government of "trying to silence" a "martyr's son" for raising the voice of the people.
"You call my brother, the son of a martyr, a traitor and Mir Jafar. You insult his mother. Your Chief Minister says Rahul Gandhi doesn't know who his mother is. You insult my family every day. But no cases are filed," Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said.
She also countered the BJP's charge that Rahul Gandhi insulted OBCs with his remark. Priyanka Gandhi asked how a leader whose family has "given its blood to nurture democracy" and who has walked thousands of kilometres from Kanyakumari to Kashmir with a message of unity could insult the country or a certain community. "We have remained silent but not anymore," she said.
