In a heated session of Parliament on Monday, Samajwadi Party leader Dharmendra Yadav accused the central government of an 'intelligence failure' related to the Pahalgam terror attack, stirring controversy on the House floor.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman called for Yadav's remarks to be expunged, asserting they were baseless and contradicted publicly stated government policies by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.

The session was further disrupted when opposition members reacted vocally against the chairperson's decision to remove Yadav's comments from the official record, leading to heightened tensions and calls for decorum within the House.
