Parliament Budget Session 2026: Lok Sabha Erupts Over Rahul Gandhi’s Reference to Former Army Chief’s Memoir

Parliament Budget Session 2026: Lok Sabha Erupts Over Rahul Gandhi’s Reference to Former Army Chief’s Memoir

February 2, 2026
Parliament Budget Session 2026: Lok Sabha Erupts Over Rahul Gandhi’s Reference to Former Army Chief’s Memoir New Delhi: The Budget Session of Parliament witnessed intense political confrontation on Sunday as the Lok Sabha was disrupted following remarks made by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who quoted from an unpublished memoir of former Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane during a debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address. The remarks triggered sharp objections from the Treasury benches, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah questioning the credibility and propriety of citing material that is not in the public domain. The House saw repeated interruptions, forcing the Speaker to intervene as members from both sides raised slogans. Government Pushback on ‘Unverified’ Reference Rajnath Singh strongly objected to the reference, stating that quoting from an unpublished book was inappropriate and misleading. He stressed that Parliament must rely on verified and publicly available information, especially when matters related to national security and the armed forces are involved. Amit Shah echoed the concerns, asserting that speculative or unverified content should not be used to frame narratives in the House. He accused the Opposition of politicising sensitive military matters. Rahul Gandhi, however, maintained that his remarks were based on media reports referring to General Naravane’s observations and argued that the government was attempting to silence dissent during a crucial debate. Budget 2026 Presented Amid Turmoil The uproar came on the same day Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2026–27, outlining the government’s roadmap for fiscal consolidation, increased capital expenditure, infrastructure expansion, and investment in future-ready sectors such as technology, green energy, and manufacturing. Despite disruptions, the government reiterated its commitment to economic growth, projecting a steady GDP expansion while navigating global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions. Key Developments in Parliament Proceedings Continue The Lok Sabha is scheduled to reconvene with nearly 18 hours allotted for discussion on the President’s Address. However, continued political friction suggests further disruptions as the Budget Session progresses.

Rohit Shetty House Firing: Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Claims Responsibility, Five Detained Mumbai: Security agencies are on high alert after the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly claimed responsibility for the firing incident outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, prompting swift action from law enforcement agencies. According to police officials, at least five rounds were fired at the first floor of the nine-storey residential building around 12:45 a.m. One bullet reportedly struck the glass façade of a gym located inside the premises. Rohit Shetty was present at home at the time of the incident, but no injuries were reported. Following preliminary investigations, Pune Police detained five individuals suspected to be linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The suspects were later handed over to the Mumbai Crime Branch for further questioning and investigation. Gang Claims Responsibility Through Audio Threat Soon after the incident, an audio message surfaced on social media, allegedly released by a gangster identifying himself as Arju Bishnoi. In the message, the speaker claimed responsibility for the firing and referred to associates while issuing threats directed at members of the film industry. The audio message described the firing as a “warning” and hinted at more severe consequences if the alleged warnings were ignored. Police officials have said that the authenticity of the audio clip is currently being verified. Security Tightened, Probe Intensified Police have increased security around Rohit Shetty’s residence as a precautionary measure. CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being examined to trace the assailants and establish the exact sequence of events. A forensic and ballistic team has also collected evidence from the spot. Senior officers stated that the detained suspects were picked up during a coordinated intelligence-based operation, and early interrogation suggests links to organised criminal networks operating across Mumbai and neighbouring regions. Background of the Gang The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is an organised criminal syndicate allegedly involved in extortion, arms trafficking, and targeted attacks. The gang has previously been linked to several high-profile cases, making the latest incident a matter of serious concern for law enforcement agencies. Authorities have assured that a thorough investigation is underway and strict action will be taken against all those involved. Rohit Shetty is among Bollywood’s most prominent filmmakers, known for blockbuster franchises such as Golmaal and Singham, and the incident has sent shockwaves through the film industry.

Man Detained from Pune After Firing Outside Rohit Shetty’s Juhu Residence Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel, February 01, 2026 Mumbai: A man has been detained by Mumbai Police in connection with a firing incident outside the Juhu residence of renowned filmmaker Rohit Shetty in the early hours of Sunday. Police said five rounds were allegedly fired outside the filmmaker’s home, triggering security concerns in the upscale locality. According to officials, the incident occurred around 12:45 am, when the accused allegedly opened fire outside the residential building where Shetty lives. The filmmaker was present inside the house at the time of the incident. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The matter came to light after Shetty’s security guard heard the gunshots and immediately alerted him. A formal complaint was later lodged at the Juhu police station. During the spot inspection, police recovered empty bullet shells from outside the residence. CCTV footage from the area played a crucial role in the investigation, with police identifying a suspect seen near the spot before the firing. Acting on technical inputs and surveillance, the police detained a man from Pune for questioning in connection with the case. “A forensic team and ballistic experts have examined the site. Security outside the residence has been strengthened as a precautionary measure,” a senior police officer from Juhu police station said. Teams from the Juhu Police and the Mumbai Crime Branch rushed to the spot soon after the incident and launched a detailed probe. A high-level meeting of Mumbai Police officials was also convened to assess the security situation and investigation progress. A case has been registered against unknown persons under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act. Police are currently investigating the motive behind the firing. Rohit Shetty is among Bollywood’s most successful filmmakers, known for blockbuster franchises such as Golmaal and Singham. The incident has once again raised concerns over the safety of high-profile personalities in Mumbai. Notably, a similar firing incident was reported in 2024 outside actor Salman Khan’s Bandra residence, where bike-borne assailants had fired multiple rounds before fleeing. Police said further action will be taken based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
Sunetra Pawar Arrives in Mumbai, Set to Become Maharashtra’s First Woman Deputy Chief Minister

Sunetra Pawar Arrives in Mumbai, Set to Become Maharashtra’s First Woman Deputy Chief Minister

January 31, 2026
Sunetra Pawar Arrives in Mumbai, Set to Become Maharashtra’s First Woman Deputy Chief Minister Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel, January 31, 2026 Rajya Sabha member and senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sunetra Pawar arrived in Mumbai early Saturday morning, paving the way for her elevation as Maharashtra’s first woman Deputy Chief Minister, following the untimely death of her husband and NCP chief Ajit Pawar in a tragic plane crash earlier this week. Ms. Pawar reached her late husband’s official residence, Devgiri, in south Mumbai in the early hours, accompanied by her son Parth Pawar. Her arrival marks a significant moment in Maharashtra’s political history, both symbolically and politically. According to senior NCP leader and State minister Chhagan Bhujbal, the party’s legislature wing will convene a meeting at Vidhan Bhavan around 2 pm on Saturday, where Sunetra Pawar is expected to be unanimously named as the party’s legislative leader. A low-key oath-taking ceremony is scheduled later in the evening at Lok Bhavan. The NCP currently has 40 MLAs, all of whom are expected to back the decision. Once sworn in, Ms. Pawar will become the first woman to hold the post of Deputy Chief Minister in Maharashtra, a milestone for the state. Political Transition After Tragedy Sunetra Pawar, 62, is presently a Rajya Sabha MP and is not a member of either House of the Maharashtra Legislature. Sources within the party indicate that a future political adjustment may see her son Parth Pawar stepping into her Rajya Sabha role, though no formal announcement has been made. Her elevation comes days after Ajit Pawar’s death in a fatal aircraft crash in Baramati, an incident that has left a deep void in Maharashtra politics. Ajit Pawar was one of the most influential leaders in the state, having served as Deputy Chief Minister five times. Reacting to the development, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the BJP would stand by the NCP’s decision. “The NCP will take whatever decision it deems appropriate for the post of Deputy Chief Minister, and we will support it. We stand firmly with Ajit Dada’s family and the party during this difficult time,” Fadnavis said. Mixed Reactions Within the Political Spectrum NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar stated that he was not consulted regarding the appointment and expressed surprise over the speed of the decision. “It is the party’s decision. I do not have clarity on the reasons behind the hasty appointment,” he remarked. Sunetra Pawar first came into the political spotlight during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, when she contested from Baramati against her sister-in-law and sitting MP Supriya Sule. Though she lost that contest, she later entered Parliament through the Rajya Sabha. As Maharashtra prepares for this historic transition, all eyes are now on Saturday’s party meeting and the formal swearing-in that will officially place Sunetra Pawar at the helm of the state’s executive leadership.

Maharashtra Dy CM Ajit Pawar, Four Others Killed in Plane Crash Near Baramati Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel, January 28, 2026 In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves across Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar and four others were killed after a private aircraft crash-landed near Baramati in Pune district on Wednesday morning, officials said in this fictional scenario. According to aviation authorities, the aircraft — a Learjet 45 operated by a Delhi-based charter company — went down while attempting to land in Baramati. All five persons on board were declared dead at the crash site. Those killed include Ajit Pawar, his close aide Vidip Jadhav, Personal Security Officer Pinky Mali, pilot Captain Sumit Kapur, and co-pilot Shambhavi Pathak. Flight Lost Contact Mid-Air As per flight-tracking data cited by officials in this scenario, the aircraft departed Mumbai at around 8:10 am and lost radar contact approximately 35 minutes later, shortly before its scheduled landing in Baramati. Emergency services rushed to the crash site following reports from local residents. DGCA Orders Investigation The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a detailed investigation to ascertain the cause of the crash. Technical experts and aviation safety teams have been dispatched to examine the wreckage, while black box recovery efforts are underway. Political Journey Cut Short Ajit Pawar, widely known as “Dada” among supporters, was one of Maharashtra’s most influential political figures. A five-time Deputy Chief Minister, he began his political career in the early 1990s and went on to play a decisive role in state politics for over three decades. Known for his strong hold over the Baramati region, Pawar was heading to the town to campaign for upcoming Zila Parishad elections when the crash occurred, according to this fictional account. State in Mourning In this scenario, the Maharashtra government has announced a three-day state mourning as a mark of respect. Flags would fly at half-mast on government buildings, and all official events would be cancelled during the mourning period. Leaders across party lines expressed grief and described Pawar as a seasoned administrator and mass leader whose absence would leave a major void in Maharashtra’s political landscape. Family and Legacy Ajit Pawar is survived by his wife Sunetra Pawar, a Rajya Sabha member, and sons Parth and Jay. Condolences poured in from across the country in this hypothetical situation, highlighting his long public service and political legacy
