Autheticate documents by 6 pm or statement will be struck off: RS tells Swamy
May 06, 2016
Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy tweets: Met Parriker and congratulated him for a smashing speech in LS. Will meet him again after satisfying Chm RS on docs authentication done.
The Rajya Sabha chairperson has given Swamy time till 6 pm to authenticate his documents or his remarks will be struck off.
Swamy, who debuted as a Rajya Sabha member last week, led the ruling
BJP's attack on the opposition Congress on the chopper deal in which
bribes were allegedly paid by Anglo-Italian company AgustaWestland in
India when the Congress was in power.
The Congress hit back at Swamy calling him "diabolical and twisted".
"He suffers from an obsession...that's why he keeps quoting the wrong
country. It reveals your twisted mindset. It is diabolical. I cannot
come down to your level," Congress leader Anand Sharma said, speaking
right after Swamy during a debate on alleged bribes by defence
manufacturer AgustaWestland to swing a contract for the supply of 12
helicopters to India.
Swamy's debut speech in Parliament was full of indirect attacks at
Congress president Sonia Gandhi. "Before even Dr Manmohan Singh, she
should be interrogated first by the CBI," he said. Without taking her
name, Swamy referred to her as "a super cabinet" and a "higher
authority than then PM Dr Singh".
