# Lok Sabha notice to Rahul Gandhi over Amit Shah remarks 2026-08-14T17:13:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The Lok Sabha Secretariat has served a breach of privilege notice on Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, asking him to respond by August 28 to complaints by BJP MPs over his remarks against Home Minister Amit Shah during a debate on the anti-paper leak bill. The complaints, by BJP MPs Anurag Thakur and Sanjay Jaiswal, allege that Gandhi used unparliamentary and derogatory language and levelled grave allegations without giving advance notice under Rule 353. According to the secretariat's letter dated August 14, Gandhi must furnish his reply for the Speaker's consideration. If the explanation is unsatisfactory, the matter could go to the Committee of Privileges, headed by BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad. The bill, passed after weeks of student protests over exam irregularities, became law earlier this month. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Amit Shah, Anurag Thakur, Lok Sabha, Om Birla, Privileges Committee, Rahul Gandhi Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/lok-sabha-issues-privilege-notice-to-rahul-gandhi-over-shah-remarks/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
