Congress leader Rahul Gandhi sparked a massive political controversy during the Monsoon Session of Parliament after his speech on the NEET row, student protests and the BJP triggered an uproar in the Lok Sabha. Backing the nationwide NEET protests, Rahul Gandhi praised students, saying "Every Indian should be proud of our youth," and argued that the movement was driven by conviction rather than anger. The controversy intensified after Rahul Gandhi quoted a student's message and used the word "idiots," prompting immediate protests from BJP MPs. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju demanded that the remarks be expunged from the parliamentary record, calling the language inappropriate for the House.
