Breaking news from Parliament: Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has been issued a notice concerning an alleged breach of privilege and contempt of the House.

The notice follows complaints submitted by BJP leaders over remarks Rahul Gandhi allegedly made against Union Home Minister Amit Shah during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

The BJP has alleged that Gandhi used unparliamentary and derogatory expressions and made serious claims without providing evidence. The controversy comes amid heated exchanges between the government and opposition over police action during protests in New Delhi.

The latest notice adds another layer to the ongoing political confrontation between the BJP and Congress.

Rahul Gandhi Gets Notice of Breach of Privilege & Contempt | BREAKING 

Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu, on Saturday, sent a privilege notice against Congress President Rahul Gandhi to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for further action, holding that &quot;prima facie there is an issue of privilege&quot;.&nbsp;

&quot;On examination, prima facie there is an issue of privilege,&quot; Naidu said while referring the privilege notice to the Lok Sabha speaker.&nbsp;

Senior BJP MP Bhupendra Yadav had raised an issue of breach of privilege last month against the Congress President.

In his notice, Yadav had said that Gandhi twisted the spelling of Jaitley&rsquo;s surname to &#39;Jaitlie&#39;&nbsp;and it was highly derogatory.

&quot;Dear Mr Jaitlie - thank you for reminding India that our PM never means what he says or says what he means. #BJPLies,&quot; Rahul Gandhi had said while putting out a video of the prime minister&#39;s speech against his predecessor and Jaitley s remarks made in Rajya Sabha.

According to reports, the Rajya Sabha chairperson&#39;s office said that the &ldquo;the breach of privilege stands on the grounds that it imputed motives to the intent, character and conduct of the Leader of the House Arun Jaitley by the way the spelling of Mr. Jaitley has been twisted (it was spelt as Jaitlie in Mr. Gandhi&rsquo;s tweets).&rdquo;

The BJP member said the Congress President had &quot;deliberately twisted&quot; the spelling of Jaitley&#39;s surname to &#39;Jaitlie&#39;, which was &quot;highly derogatory&quot;.

The Congress president, Yadav said, has deliberately misinterpreted the proceedings of Rajya Sabha in order to &quot;malign the government, which constitutes an affront to the dignity of the House&quot;.

He also alleged that it is a deliberate attempt at vitiating the political atmosphere of the country.

Sources further said that the matter was likely to be referred to the privilege committee.&nbsp;
