NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi repeatedly refused to follow Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's ruling about only quoting "authentic" sources in the House, and continued to raise the Ladakh issue, allegedly mentioned in the unpublished memoir of former Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Narvane (Retd.).
Chaos erupted in the House after Gandhi raised the India-China standoff issue, which was interrupted by the treasury benches, claiming it was against the House rules.
Gandhi, speaking during the Motion of Thanks on the President's address in the Lok Sabha, mentioned that his source is "authentic" and includes quotes from the unpublished memoirs of former Army chief M.M. Naravane, who, according to Gandhi, has claimed that the government is "trying to stop the publication of his book".
