Lok Sabha descended into chaos after Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised the appointment of Pralhad Joshi as the Union Education Minister, linking her criticism to the Bilkis Banu case. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju strongly objected, calling the remarks "character assassination" and demanding that they be expunged from the parliamentary record. Pralhad Joshi also sought an apology, accusing Priyanka Gandhi of spreading misinformation.
