Speaker Expunges Rahul Gandhi’s Speech: Rahul Gandhi of Congress, who received a standing ovation for his Monday, July 1, 2024, speech in the Lok Sabha, is making headlines once more. This time, the scissors that were utilized on the speech are the cause. In actuality, the speaker of the Lok Sabha trimmed fourteen sentences from his address. Put simply, this means that the 14 points he made in his speech have been expunged from the Parliament’s records.
Loksabha Secretariat has to answer why it is happening with Rahul Gandhi’s speech.
First, they cut 60% of camera time from Rahul & kept Loksabha speaker on display.
Then, they put Loksabha speaker on YT thumbnail for Rahul’s speech while other MPs have their own picture. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/at9i1kbWMk

The information indicates that the speaker removed multiple references made by Rahul Gandhi regarding Hinduism about the BJP, two of the three references to well-known industrialists that the Congress frequently brings up about the Narendra Modi government, two about the Agneepath Yojana, one each regarding the NEET controversy, Manipur, and the Prime Minister. Speaker Om Birla deleted 14 sections of Rahul Gandhi’s inaugural statement to the Lok Sabha as the head of the opposition late on Monday night.
Congress disapproved of the Speaker’s choice.
In addition, Gandhi’s remark regarding the absence of greetings between the opposition and the ruling party—which specifically mentioned two Union ministers—was deleted. On Tuesday, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha made this decision public. Congress has voiced significant opposition to it. Rahul Gandhi questioned Om Birla’s choice in writing and asked that his remarks be added back into the official record for the legislature.
The PM’s rebuttal terms remained in place.
The article claims that although Rahul Gandhi’s allusion to the BJP and Hinduism was taken down by Om Birla, the Prime Minister’s rejoinder, which he made when interrupting Rahul Gandhi’s address, remained in place. During Rahul’s speech, the Prime Minister had stated that this is a very serious matter. It is very problematic to refer to Hindu society as a whole as violent. The response that Rahul Gandhi provided following the PM’s statement has also been deleted.
Amit Shah’s speech had a lot taken out of it Too.
Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, made some comments about Rahul Gandhi’s address, but they were taken out of the House record. Shah’s updated comments now state: “Making noise won’t be enough to conceal such a significant incident. The Opposition Leader has stated unequivocally that people who identify as Hindus, they… I want to reiterate… He said, “Those who identify as Hindus talk about it, but they actually do it.” On the other hand, Shah’s recorded remarks state: “It is likely that Gandhi is unaware of the fact that a large number of people in this nation proudly identify as Hindus. Do they all engage in violent speech and behavior?
