The Lok Sabha session on Tuesday was marked by repeated adjournments and chaotic scenes as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attempted to quote from former army chief MM Naravane's unpublished memoir. Gandhi claimed that the memoir contained information about the 2020 India-China conflict, which he wanted to use to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. The move sparked a heated debate, with BJP leaders accusing Gandhi of misleading the House and belittling the armed forces. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla refused to allow Gandhi to raise the issue, leading to a ruckus in the House. As the session progressed, proceedings were adjourned twice, with the House eventually being adjourned for the day at 3 pm. Eight opposition members, including Manickam Tagore, Hibi Eden, and Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, were suspended for creating a ruckus. The controversy surrounding Naravane's memoir has sparked a row in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, with opposition parties protesting against the India-US trade deal announced by US President Donald Trump on Monday. The Lok Sabha session is set to resume on Wednesday at 11 am, amidst high tensions and expectations of more disruptions. The opposition has promised to continue its protest against the government's policies, including the India-US trade deal and the alleged demolition drive at Varanasi's Manikarnika Ghat.
