The Congress on Friday claimed that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s mic was turned off as he raised the NEET paper leak issue in the Lok Sabha.
The Congress even shared a video on X (earlier Twitter), showing Rahul Gandhi requesting Speaker Om Birla for access to a microphone.
Rahul Gandhi sought a debate on the NEET controversy and demanded a statement from the government.
In response, Speaker Om Birla clarified that he does not switch off the microphones of MPs and has no such control. “The discussion should be on the President’s address. Other matters will not be recorded in the House,” Birla said.
