Rahul Gandhi authenticates article on ex-army chief's memoir

In this Special Report, the focus is on the proceedings in the Lok Sabha where Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi attempted to table an authenticated article concerning national security. Addressing the House, Rahul Gandhi stated, 'As I said yesterday, very important matter in the President speech is the matter of national security and our relationship between the relationship between us and the Chinese and the Pakistanis.' He sought to discuss the contents of the article, which he claimed detailed the Prime Minister's reactions. However, the Chair and Treasury benches intervened, requesting the Leader of the Opposition to restrict his speech to the Honourable President's address. The Chair noted that a ruling had already been given on the matter referred to by Gandhi the previous day, advising him to avoid repeating settled issues. The programme highlights the friction between the opposition and the Chair over the authentication of documents and the scope of the debate on the Motion of Thanks.
