Our Delhi correspondent with all that happened in Parliament today.

Sonia Gandhi walked briskly in and out of Central Hall and the lobby of Parliament today, smiling in acknowledgement at those who who greeted her on her 66th birthday today.

A Congress MP gave her special puja prasad from the Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam.

Former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav, who has got his head tonsured wore a fur cap in Parliament.

Former PM Deve Gowda walked straight into Lok Sabha at 11:02 am without realising that the entire House was observing a minute's silence to mourn the deaths in the AMRI hospital tragedy.

Deve Gowda was alerted by the watch-and-ward to walk slowly and quietly as the house was mourning the dead. Gowda did likewise and then took his seat in the first row seat in the Lok Sabha.
