Rahul Gandhi remained absent for the fifth consecutive day since the Winter Parliament sessions commenced on November 18. Several questions regarding his absence were raised. BJP MP Jagdambika Pal questioned Gandhi's absence and said his attitude towards the Parliament was disappointing. 'Attitude of these young leaders disappointing' These are youth leaders. They should come to the House. Even being so old, we are regularly present in the House and remain active in our constituencies as well. The attitude of these young leaders is very disappointing, the public elects and sends us to Parliament, so that, we raise their issues in the House and find some solutions. But Rahul Gandhi is often found missing from the House," he said.
