'Only yours doesn't work': Lok Sabha Speaker's quip as Rahul Gandhi raises doubt on Venugopal's mic
LOk Sabha utterer Om Birla joked in Parliament on th as Leader of oppositeness in the put up, Rahul indira nehru gandhi, briefly raised doubts on whether Congress MP KC Venugopal's mic was working.During the special session of Parliament, Venugopal raised questions on the government's intent behind the proposal for 33% reservation for women in the House and questioned why the move was not implemented in 2024.This is when union Home Minister Amit Shah stood up, objecting to how could the merits of the bill be questioned without it being taken up for discussion.As the Lok Sabha speaker began to explain the procedure of the House to Venugopal, someone in the Opposition first raised doubts on whether the MP's mic was on."Mic hi mute tha (The mic was off)," a leader said, and Rahul Gandhi also pointed to the microphone and said "No mic". This is when the Lok Sabha Speaker quipped: "Chalu hai mic chalu hai, aapka hi band hota hai (The mic is on, only yours doesn't work)."Speaker Om Birla's remark appeared to be referring to Rahul Gandhi's earlier allegations that mics are switched off when Opposition leaders speak in Parliament. During his visit to the UK in 2023, Gandhi during an address alleged that the Opposition's voice was stifled in Parliament and said that his mic was switched off many times. In 2024 too a Congress leader had claimed that Rahul Gandhi's mic was turned off in Parliament which caused a ruckus.
