In recent times, Rahul Gandhi has been actively participating in protests and making frequent remarks in Parliament. It was in this context that Om Birla advised him to maintain decorum.

What Did Speaker Om Birla Say?
Om Birla stated, “It is expected from all members that they uphold the dignity and high standards of conduct in the House. Several incidents have come to my attention where the behavior of certain members has not aligned with parliamentary traditions. In this House, there have been members who are father-daughter, mother-daughter, and husband-wife. In this context, I especially expect the Leader of the Opposition to adhere to parliamentary procedures under Rule 349 and maintain appropriate conduct. The Leader of the Opposition is expected to set an example with their behavior in the House.”
