‘Sir’ row sparks heated exchange in Lok Sabha as Rahul Gandhi challenges Amit Shah and receives firm response
The ‘Sir’ row in Lok Sabha intensified after Rahul Gandhi interrupted Amit Shah with an open challenge during a debate. Shah responded sharply, saying he would decide how to answer, triggering loud reactions and adding tension to an already charged session.
A heated moment unfolded in Lok Sabha when the ongoing ‘Sir’ row escalated into a direct face off between Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The argument began when Amit Shah was addressing the House and Rahul Gandhi interrupted him, questioning the Minister’s comments and throwing an open challenge across the benches.
Shah paused and responded firmly, telling Gandhi that he would decide the manner and timing of his reply. The remark drew a strong reaction from both the treasury and opposition benches, leading to loud protests and counter slogans. The Speaker intervened multiple times as the debate grew increasingly chaotic.
The issue stems from recent exchanges in Parliament where members argued over the use of terms like “Sir” and accusations of disrespect within the House. Gandhi questioned the government’s stance and said the opposition would continue raising uncomfortable issues. Shah insisted that discipline and procedure must be followed and that repeated interruptions were causing disorder.
Members from both sides attempted to defend their leaders as the argument continued. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with supporters and critics sharing clips and reacting to the tense exchange.
The incident reflects the heightened political temperature in the Winter Session, where debates have been frequently disrupted by protests and strong disagreements. With key Bills pending, parliamentary observers expect further clashes as the session progresses.
