The Indian National Congress has moved a privilege notice against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming he undermined the independence and integrity of elected Members of Parliament (MPs) during his address to the nation on April 18. This speech occurred after the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill-2026 was defeated in the Lok Sabha due to a lack of the required two-thirds majority. Congress MP K C Venugopal stated that Modi's remarks, which included a direct attack on opposition parties and the use of the term ‘bhroon hatya’ (foeticide), represent an unprecedented abuse of power. Venugopal argued that such statements constitute a serious breach of privilege and contempt of the House. He emphasized that the Prime Minister's comments reflect poorly on the integrity of MPs performing their duties and urged Speaker Om Birla to treat the matter seriously. The Congress party insists that questioning the conduct of elected representatives is an affront to Parliament's authority and the democratic rights of the Indian populace.
