December 03, 2014

And on the second day, ruckus in Parliament over union minister Niranjan Jyoti's abusive rant. 

Yesterday, cornered by a united Opposition and isolated within the BJP, Union Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti on Tuesday expressed regret in Parliament for using abusive language at a party rally in the capital.

The government said the matter was closed with her expressing regret, but Congress members indicated that they intended to press the issue in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.

Today, the opposition said she should be booked for the hate speech.
