Rahul snaps at reporters, when questioned about ‘privilege’ motion against him

NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi lost his cool at a section of media persons on Thursday, as they questioned him about a possible privilege motion against him by the ruling party in the ongoing Budget session.

Rahul, visibly agitated at the question, snapped at the scribes, asking, “Have you been given this code word for today”? In the same breadth, he asked them to “stay objective” in their work and uphold the sanctity of their profession.

On Wednesday, the Lok Sabha erupted in protest as Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing critique of the Modi government, accusing it of surrendering India and its people before foreign powers and also selling the Bharat Mata. Rahul’s fierce attack was met with protest from treasury benches, who objected to LoP’s “unparliamentary” language and demanded that his remarks be expunged from House proceedings.
