Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday wrote to Speaker Om Birla, registering his “strongest protest” over not being allowed to speak during the discussion on the President’s address. He described the development as a “blot on our democracy”. The letter comes after Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Tuesday following an uproar in the lower House after Gandhi read the excerpts from an unpublished memoir penned by former Army Chief MM Naravane, to which the Centre firmly objected.
