Rahul Gandhi, a senior member of the Congress, talked at Nanded, Maharashtra, while turning off his microphone to show how this is done in Parliament when opposition leaders complain about note bans and Chinese invasions. Rahul Gandhi, the former AICC President, accused the Central administration on Thursday of stifling opposition views in Parliament by utilising gimmicks like turning off microphones. He repeatedly turned his microphone on and off during a speech in Nanded, Maharashtra, to emphasise a point. As part of the "Bharat Jodo Yatra," the Congress MP spoke at a gathering in Nanded and cited a number of previous instances where, in his opinion, the Parliament's microphone had been switched off.
