Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, a prominent Congress Member of Parliament and the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, faced suspension from parliamentary proceedings on Thursday following what was deemed "disruptive" behavior. The motion for his suspension was put forth by Pralhad Joshi, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs.


The incident unfolded during a heated debate surrounding a no-confidence motion introduced by the Opposition. Chowdhury drew analogies between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the blind monarch Dhritarashtra from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, while also drawing a comparison between the Prime Minister and fugitive businessman Nirav Modi. These remarks garnered swift and strong objections from the ruling party.

Pralhad Joshi promptly discredited Chowdhury's assertions as baseless and called for a formal apology. Home Minister Amit Shah echoed this sentiment, urging Chowdhury to uphold the decorum of the parliamentary forum.


Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla intervened, expunging specific segments of Chowdhury's statements from the official records. Simultaneously, during his address, Chowdhury responded to Amit Shah's 'Quit India' rhetoric by advocating an end to divisive tactics and ideological prejudices.

The situation took an unexpected turn when Prime Minister Modi entered the Lok Sabha chamber while Chowdhury was in the midst of his speech. Chowdhury clarified that their intention was to elicit the Prime Minister's direct engagement on the ongoing Manipur crisis, which has been marred by ethnic tensions and internal strife. He underscored the issue's global ramifications and emphasized the necessity of the Prime Minister's direct intervention.


This incident further underscores the existing tensions between the Opposition and the ruling party, casting a spotlight on the ongoing dynamics within the Indian parliamentary landscape.
