Himanta Biswa Sarma praises Ravneet Bittu amid fiery Lok Sabha debate

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to microblogging site X to commend Union Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing, Ravneet Bittu, amidst a tumultuous Lok Sabha session. Sarma expressed his admiration for Bittu's impactful intervention, stating, “I am extremely impressed by this impactful intervention by Hon’ble Minister of State for Railways & Food Processing in the Government of India, Shri @RavneetBittu Ji. People must distinguish between loyalty to the Family and that to the Nation. Wishing him a successful tenure!”

The Lok Sabha session saw dramatic exchanges as Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi and BJP MP Ravneet Bittu engaged in a fierce confrontation, leading to a 30-minute adjournment. The altercation ignited when Channi, the former Punjab Chief Minister, accused the current government of imposing an "undeclared Emergency" on the nation. His speech included a defense of Amritpal Singh, a jailed MP from Punjab, and critiques of the government’s handling of the Sidhu Moose Wala murder and farmer protests.

The debate intensified when Channi made a controversial remark about Bittu’s late grandfather, former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, leading to a heated response from Bittu. Bittu countered with allegations of corruption against Channi and accused him of misleading the public.
