Opposition leaders from the INDIA alliance in the Rajya Sabha have filed a privilege motion on Tuesday against Leader of the House Piyush Goyal after he referred to them as "traitors." Congress MP Jairam Ramesh stated that an apology from Goyal on the House floor is necessary.
The INDIA parties walked out of the session due to the Modi government's refusal to immediately discuss the Manipur violence based on a mutually agreed motion. Goyal's refusal to apologise for his “traitor” remarks further fuelled the situation.
The session adjourned amid opposition protests over allegations that the Congress and its allies were “promoting Chinese propaganda in India”.
