On Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi told the Lok Sabha that India is trapped in a `chakravyuh,` a term he linked to the BJP`s Lotus symbol. He compared the current situation to the ancient battle where Abhimanyu was trapped and killed in a complex military formation. Gandhi noted that `chakravyuh` can also be called `Padmavyuh,` meaning `Lotus formation,` and said this symbolizes the current political situation. During the same session, Speaker Om Birla reminded Gandhi about the rules for media interactions by non-members. Gandhi had earlier claimed a farmer delegation was denied entry when trying to meet him. Watch video for more.
