The Lok Sabha was in uproar on Tuesday after BJP MP Anurag Thakur took a veiled jibe at Congress and Rahul Gandhi over the issue of caste census. “The one whose caste is not known is talking about the census,” Thakur said.
Prior to the remark on the caste census, Anurag Thakur had taken another swipe at Rahul Gandhi, “They should know that the full form of LoP is Leader of Opposition, not leader of propaganda.”
The ‘caste’ remark led to an uproar in the House, with Rahul Gandhi interrupting Thakur’s speech and saying, “You can insult me as much as you want, but you should not forget that we will get the caste census bill passed in Parliament.”
Jagdambika Pal, who was presiding over the Lok Sabha proceedings, tried to bring the House into order. However, the MPs continued to voice their discontent.
