Congress party has said that Rahul Gandhi should be given a chance to speak I have told them that because the chair has already decided on this and we cannot give in to this because this does not come in the tradition after the ruling of Lok Sabha speaker, Rahul Gandhi is a member of the house he must also agree to this, he is not above the house," he further said.
"In the Rajya Sabha, the Congress party has walked out over India-US trade agreement and is spreading lies; this is not right. I have heard that the Congress party has said that it will harm our farmers; such lies should not be spread," Rijiju said further.

"Modi ji is rattled. The (US-India) trade deal, which was stalled for the past few months, was signed by Narendra Modi last night. There is extreme pressure on him. Narendra Modi ji's image can get damaged. The main thing is that our PM is compromised. The public needs to think about this," Gandhi said.
"For the first time, the LoP was not allowed to speak on the President's speech. Narendra Modi ji has sold your hard work in this trade deal because he is compromised. He has sold the country. Narendra Modi ji is scared because those who shaped his image are now breaking this image....There is a case on Adani ji in the US, it is actually a case on Modi ji....The Epstein Files contain even more that the US has not yet released. There is pressure due to that as well. These are the two pressure points. The country should understand this," he further claimed.
