Rahul Gandhi’s ‘idiot’ remark sparks uproar as Kiren Rijiju seeks expunging from records

Published by Webster

A debate in the Lok Sabha on the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, turned contentious on Wednesday after Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi used the word “idiot” while recounting a conversation with a student during his speech. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju objected to the expression, calling it unparliamentary, while Speaker Om Birla directed that such remarks be expunged from the official proceedings. Earlier in his speech, Rahul Gandhi said he was encouraged by the student protests over the NEET paper leak issue, describing them as a positive expression of the country’s youth rather than an act of anger or violence.
