New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that I will address allegatin against me only in Parliament. Rahul said "I went to Parliament this morning with the idea of putting what I said or what I feel on the floor of the House. Four ministers have raised allegations against me in Parliament. It is my right to be allowed to speak on the floor of the House. I requested the Speaker, and went to his Chamber and requested him that I would very much like to speak. I told him that people from the BJP have made allegations against me and as an MP, it is my right to speak,” Rahul’s remark came at a press conference held today afternoon, shortly after both houses of Parliament were adjourned for the day amid sloganeering by the Treasury and Opposition benches. The BJP has been demanding that Rahul apologise for his remark on Indian democracy in Parliament. 

"As an MP my first responsibility is to reply in Parliament, only after that I can explain in detail before you," he told reporters.

The former Congress chief said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is yet to reply to moot questions he asked in his last Parliament speech about the Adani Group.

Earlier in the day, Gandhi arrived at Parliament House after his return from abroad and met Birla urging him to allow him to speak in Lok Sabha.

Rahul Gandhi arrived at the Parliament at around 12:30 PM to attend the Budget Session of the Parliament. The Lok Sabha was adjourned after the House met at 11 AM and ruckus ensued by members of the House, following which Speaker Om Birla called off the proceedings till 2 PM. As the House reconvened at 2 PM, Kirit Solanki, who was in the Chair, adjourned the House for the day, just a minute after reconvening, amid sloganeering by Opposition and treasury benches. 

The Parliament witnessed a faceoff between the government and the opposition for the fourth straight day over two issues. Rahul Gandhi's democracy remarks and the Adani issue. Both Houses have been adjourned till 2pm amid uproar.
