Event Summary

K. C. Venugopal of the India — Indian National Congress submitted a privilege notice against Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, to India — Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. The notice alleges that Narendra Modi breached parliamentary privilege during his national address on April 18, 2026. In his speech, following the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026 in the India — Lok Sabha, Narendra Modi criticized opposition parties and attributed motives to their voting patterns. K. C. Venugopal argues that these remarks cast aspersions on Members of Parliament, undermining the dignity and authority of the India — Lok Sabha and the democratic rights of the people of India. The India — Indian National Congress, supported by Jairam Ramesh, views Narendra Modi's address as partisan demagoguery and an abuse of power, urging Om Birla to initiate an inquiry by the Committee on Privileges.
