During the discussion on the President's address, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi raised the Doklam issue, triggering a major commotion. The session was initially adjourned until 4 PM and is now postponed until 12 PM on Tuesday. Congress accuses that Rahul is not being allowed to speak on national security matters in the House. They are demanding a debate on this crucial issue.
Outside the House, Rahul Gandhi spoke to reporters. During the interaction, Rahul claimed that these are the words of the Army Chief Manoj Mukund Naravane. It reflects what the Army Chief has written in his book, for which publication permission is pending. His views remain unheard.
This is the Army Chief's perspective. Why are they so afraid of him? What do they fear about what he has written? The public will learn from it. Certainly, they will learn something about the Prime Minister and also about Rajnath Singh. More crucially, they will learn the truth about the army. People will understand how the army has felt let down by the nation's political leadership.

Rahul emphasized, I am merely trying to highlight what the former Army Chief Naravane has clearly expressed about the Prime Minister and Rajnath Singh in his book. This has been reported in an article, which I am quoting from, yet I am not being permitted to voice this in the House.
I am not claiming these are my writings. Former Army Chief Naravane authored this book. They are petrified because if this book comes out, people will learn the real truth about Narendra Modi and Rajnath Singh, and also about what happened to the '56-inch chest' when China advanced.
