Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s speech during the Lok Sabha debate on the Anti-Paper Leak Bill triggered a major political row after he referred to “three categories of people” while recounting a conversation with an 18-year-old student. Gandhi said the student described them as “students, idiots and andhbhakts,” adding that an “andhbhakt” is someone “absolutely convinced that another idiot is God.” He also urged politicians to respect students and their expression, citing the recent protests over examination irregularities. The remarks drew immediate protests from the treasury benches, with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accusing Gandhi of using unparliamentary language and demanding that the word “idiot” be expunged from the House records.
