Congress president Rahul Gandhi took the Treasury benches in the Lok Sabha by surprise when he hugged Prime Minister Modi during a debate on the no-confidence motion.
Forty-eight-year-old Rahul was leading the opposition charge attacking the government on various issues when he took a jibe at PM Modi and the BJP for their 'pappu' comment and walked across the Lok Sabha hall to hug the Prime Minister.
"You can abuse me, you can call me Pappu, but I don't have an iota of hatred against you," Rahul said in a sharp attack on the government.
PM Modi was initially shocked, but was later seen smiling and shaking hands with Rahul.
The PM and his party often use the 'pappu' jibe calling the Congress president politically immature. Today, the Congress president hit back at PM Modi for his "jumla strike".
Rahul Gandhi's gesture has left Twitter in splits. Sample this:
The Lok Sabha is holding a debate on no-confidence motion which was accepted by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Thursday.
