Rahul Gandhi asks Lok Sabha Speaker to end restrictions on media in Parliament

Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi requested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to lift media restrictions in Parliament. He expressed concern over reporters being confined to a designated area. Birla advised Gandhi to address the issue privately, not in the House. Opposition leaders including Derek O'Brien and Karti Chidambaram stood in solidarity with journalists, labeling the restrictions as censorship. Birla later assured journalists that their concerns would be resolved.
