# Lok Sabha seeks Rahul Gandhi reply on privilege notice 2026-08-14T22:08:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Lok Sabha secretariat has asked Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi to respond by August 28 to two breach of privilege complaints filed by BJP MPs Anurag Thakur and Sanjay Jaiswal. The complaints arise from Gandhi's remarks against Home Minister Amit Shah during the debate on the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill. Jaiswal, the BJP chief whip, and Thakur accuse Gandhi of using 'unparliamentary and derogatory language' and making allegations without adequate notice. Speaker Om Birla has referred the matter to the Privileges Committee, which gave Gandhi until August 28 to submit his explanation. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - ndtv.com - rediff.com Tags: Amit Shah, BJP, Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, Sanjay Jaiswal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/lok-sabha-seeks-rahul-gandhis-reply-on-privilege-notice-over-shah-remark/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
