Congress MP Rahul Gandhi called for Gyanesh Kumar to be tried for treason, arguing that illegal deletions cast doubt on the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Speaking on India Today, Congress leader Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi defended the mock parliament, citing the denial of parliamentary discussion and alleging significant omissions in the Election Commission's response.
The Bharatiya Janata Party hit back, calling the proceedings a 'parliament of theatrics' and accusing the opposition of undermining constitutional institutions.
