NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha on Thursday witnessed a ruckus after Rahul Gandhi was interrupted during his speech on the energy crisis when he took a jibe at oil and gas minister Hardeep Puri for his name allegedly appearing in the files of an American sex-offender. He also attacked the govt over the US waiver to India to buy crude from Russia. “It has been a very puzzling fact why a nation the size of India would allow any other nation… the President of another nation to give us permission to buy Russian oil… I have figured the puzzle out. And the puzzle is about compromise,” he said and referred to Puri’s alleged link.This led to interruptions in the House, forcing Speaker Om Birla to intervene, saying the member cannot raise this issue, even as Gandhi insisted that he was speaking on energy and economic security. Later, opposition members entered the well of the House and Puri had to read out his statement amid sloganeering.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Public Interest Will Guide Every Decision,” PM Modi Reassures Nation Amid Global UncertaintyIndian Crew Hit In Iran War Shipping Chaos: 3 Dead, 4 InjuredCentre Urges Citizens To Avoid Panic Booking As India Assures Stable LPG, Fuel Supply Amid WarChief Of Integrated Staff Air Marshal Dixit Says India Not Dealing With Same Pakistan After Operation SindoorEpstein Chants Greet Hardeep Puri In Lok Sabha Amid Rahul Gandhi’s Dig At Minister, Birla Steps In“Energy Security Compromised”: Rahul Gandhi Sounds Alarm In Parliament’India’s Fuel Supply Stable’: Hardeep Singh Puri Rejects LPG Shortage, Oil Crisis Fears In Lok Sabha’I Heard A Cracker Sound…’: Farooq Abdullah Opens Up About Assassination AttemptRahul Gandhi Warns Of Fuel Crisis Amid Middle East Conflict, BJP MP Dubey Hits Back With Soros JibeAmid US-Iran War, First Crude Tanker Shenlong Safely Reaches Mumbai Port Through Strait Of Hormuz123PhotostoriesLPG, Induction, Air fryer, or Microwave: Which is cheaper and efficient to cook with8 high-protein no-cook breakfast dishes to save LPGExclusive – Ridhima Pandit accuses Vanshaj Singh of inciting hate; says she received ra*e and death threats, claims Karan Patel slept through The 50 and wanted to quitThin but diagnosed with fatty liver?
