Overview

  • Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar rejected a privilege motion filed by Congress MP Jairam Ramesh against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
  • The motion accused Shah of defaming Sonia Gandhi by implying her control over the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) during the Congress regime.
  • Amit Shah defended his remarks by referencing a 1948 press release that outlined the PMNRF's management structure, which included the Congress President.
  • Dhankhar stated there was 'no transgression' in Shah's remarks and emphasized the importance of adhering to truth in parliamentary proceedings.
  • The decision has intensified political tensions between the BJP and Congress, with both parties offering divergent interpretations of the incident.
