"Though we know that the prime minister will make an election speech. But the debate is initiated by the LoP, who has not been allowed to speak,” Ramesh said. Rahul is raising fundamental questions on national security and abdication of the responsibility by the prime minister by quoting impeccable sources, but he is not being allowed to complete his speech, Ramesh said. The meeting at Kharge's residence was attended by Ramesh, Congress general secretary in-charge organisation K. C. Venugopal, Pramod Tewari, and Manickam Tagore, among others. Rahul on Wednesday cited Naravane's 'unreleased' memoir to claim that Prime Minister Modi shed responsibility during the India-China conflict in 2020 and passed the buck on to the general.
