New Delhi: The Congress party needs to introspect as it was under pressure and its own leaders were speaking out, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said here Wednesday.

"A section of the leadership of the Congress party, because of its inability to lead, has been under pressure," Jaitley said following Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's aggressive behaviour in the Lok Sabha when he along with other party MPs advanced to the speaker's podium demanding a debate on the rising incidents of communal clashes in the country.
