Accusing Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi of making “unsubstantiated allegations” against Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri without giving prior notice, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday (February 11, 2026) said the ruling alliance members will file a notice against Mr. Gandhi for “breach of privilege”.
“We will file the necessary notice with the Speaker. The Leader of the Opposition did not make any useful substantive contribution to the Budget discussion but only made some wild allegations,” Mr. Rijiju said, soon after Mr. Gandhi’s speech got over.

The Parliamentary Affairs Minister said the notice will be placed before the Chair seeking authentication of the LoP’s assertions. While Mr. Gandhi promised to authenticate what he had spoken, Mr. Rijiju said, “I know he cannot authenticate them because he lied. He lied in the House.”
