Kerala Congress MP K.C. Venugopal on Friday (July 31, 2026) moved a Privilege Motion against Minister of State Jitendra Singh alleging that he blatantly lied on the floor of Parliament. Mr. Venugopal said Mr. Singh claimed that ‘no firing took place’ in response to the peaceful protests of our students.

“Moved a Privilege Motion against MoS Jitendra Singh for blatantly lying on the floor of Parliament and claiming that ‘no firing took place’ in response to the peaceful protests of our students,” Mr. Venugopal’s post on X said.

“LOP Sh. @RahulGandhi ji met a pellet gun victim in front of the media, there are countless media reports documenting victims of such firing, and hospital records have also emerged of victims suffering from injuries from such firings,” Mr. Venugopal’s post said.

The Government cannot get away with such obvious falsehoods in Parliament. There should be action against the Minister, the MP added.
