Amid the uproar, defence minister Rajnath Singh demanded Rahul be asked to apologise for his \u201cderogatory remarks\u201d.Speaker Om Birla asked Rahul not to digress from the topic, leading Congress functionaries to demand that he be allowed to continue.Rahul said, \u201cI remember that when I was a little boy, I was afraid of the dark. We had a huge dog that would often attack my sister and me. One day, my grandmother found out about this… She took me to the garden, left me there, and said, \u2018Don\u2019t be afraid.\u2019 I watched her walk away and I didn\u2019t have the courage to tell her that I didn\u2019t want to stay there. For me, those few minutes felt like hours. I imagined snakes, dogs… everything that scared me.\u201d\u201cMy grandmother came back and asked, \u2018What are you scared of?\u2019 I said, \u2018I am scared of that dog; I am scared of everything.\u2019 She said, \u2018You aren\u2019t scared of dogs, bats or the dark. You are scared of your mind, your imagination, and your thoughts,\u201d Rahul said as the Speaker looked befuddled.Birla insisted Rahul go back to the topic, but he wasn\u2019t relenting: \u201cThen she told me, \u2018You shouldn\u2019t be afraid of the dark, because truth most often lies in darkness. If you don\u2019t have the courage to face your fears, you will never be able to understand or fight for the truth.\u201dRahul did not cease at that. \u201cTruth is the magician has been caught \u2014 the magician of Balakot; the magician of demonetisation; and the magician of Operation Sindoor,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n
