In Lok Sabha today, July 30, a heated exchange erupted between BJP leader Anurag Thakur and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over caste and census issues. Thakur stated, "The one whose caste is not known is talking about the census," sparking a heated exchange with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Thakur clarified, "I had said that someone who doesn’t know about caste talks about the census. I did not name anyone." In response, Gandhi declared, "Whoever raises the issues of Adivasi, Dalit, and the backwards is abused. I will happily accept these abuses… Anurag Thakur has abused and insulted me, but I do not want any apology from him." Amid the uproar, SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav intervened, questioning Thakur's comment by stating, "He is a politician, a Minister from a major party, and spoke about Mahabharat, even bringing up Duryodhana. How can he question someone's caste?" ‘Not Bechare Media Wale’: Rahul Gandhi and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla Engage in ‘Fun’ Banter Over Restrictions on Media in Parliament (Watch Video).
