Here’s a shocking revelation that’s bound to spark debate: Why did Prime Minister Narendra Modi skip a crucial parliamentary session, and what really happened behind the scenes? Union Minister Kiren Rijiju recently shared a video from the Lok Sabha on February 4, revealing a tense standoff involving women Congress MPs gathered near the Prime Minister’s seat just minutes before his scheduled speech. The session was abruptly adjourned that day, leaving many questions unanswered. But here’s where it gets controversial: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla claimed he advised PM Modi to skip the session because Opposition MPs were allegedly planning an attack on him. Is this a legitimate security concern or a politically charged narrative?
Rijiju took to Twitter to express his outrage, stating, ‘The Congress Party is proud of the most degrading behavior by their MPs! If we hadn’t intervened, the situation could have turned ugly. We prioritize protecting the dignity and sanctity of Parliament.’ The video shows the women MPs standing near the PM’s seat, holding a massive banner with the text ‘Jo uchit samjho, wahin karo’ (Do what you think is best). This phrase, referencing a sentence from General (Retd.) MM Naravane’s unpublished book ‘Four Stars of Destiny’, had already stirred controversy after Congress MP Rahul Gandhi mentioned it in Parliament. But what were the Congress MPs truly planning? And why did they refuse to move despite requests from Rijiju and Giriraj Singh?
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari claimed that the Opposition women MPs entered the well of the House and moved toward the PM’s chair, escalating tensions to the point where Modi couldn’t enter. BJP women MPs have since written to Speaker Om Birla, demanding strong action against the Opposition for what they called ‘heinous acts’ that ‘discredited democratic institutions.’ Is this a fair assessment, or is it an overreaction to a misunderstood situation?
Congress, however, has fired back. MP Manickam Tagore dismissed the BJP’s claims, pointing out that the video only shows women parliamentarians gathered near BJP leaders like Piyush Goyal and Kiren Rijiju, not the PM. ‘Where is the Prime Minister? Kiren Rijiju just proved Om Birla wrong,’ Tagore quipped, challenging the Speaker’s allegation of a planned attack. Is this a case of political theatrics, or is there genuine cause for concern?
And this is the part most people miss: Even after Rijiju’s video, the exact intentions of the Congress MPs remain unclear. Were they staging a protest, planning an attack, or simply exercising their right to dissent? The lack of clarity has left room for speculation and partisan interpretations. What do you think? Was the PM’s absence justified, or is this a symptom of deeper political divisions? Let’s keep the conversation going—share your thoughts in the comments below!
