Amid reports that the Centre was considering a privilege motion against Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, sources told ANI that the government does not plan to move such a motion. This comes a day after the LoP raised multiple allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other ministers related to Epstein files and slammed the recently concluded US-India trade deal during his speech in the Budget Session of Parliament.

However, portions of his speech delivered in the House on Wednesday are likely to be expunged, as the allegations he raised were not authenticated, ANI sources said.

Upset with Gandhi’s remarks in Parliament, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that a privilege motion should be brought against Rahul Gandhi.

“There is no bigger liar than Rahul Gandhi in the country…He wants to start civil war in the country…He lies in the temple of truth,” he told ANI.

As a counter to LoP’s statements on US trade deal, he said, “Under PM Modi, farmers can never face injustice. When the Agriculture Minister and Commerce Minister are assuring the same, then what is it that you have on whose basis you are spreading misinformation? Privilege motion should be brought against him (Rahul Gandhi).”
