Congress MP Rahul Gandhi led a walkout of the parliamentary committee on defence (File)
New Delhi:
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and other members of his party walked out of a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on defence Wednesday, alleging that neither he nor his colleagues were allowed to speak during a discussion on new uniforms for the armed forces.
Mr Gandhi had said the panel s time was being wasted in talking about uniforms instead of discussing how to better equip India s soldiers, particularly in the face of threats at the country s borders. He was referring to the months-long stand-off with China at the Ladakh border, among other issues.
