In yet another low in Parliament, Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav threw paper confetti at Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Friday when she refused to entertain his request for raising the controversy over Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) paper.

Pappu Yadav, who represents Bihar's Madhepura constituency, was demanding a reply from Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on the UPSC controversy. The Speaker had refused to entertain the request following which he started throwing confetti.

However, the MP said that he did not tear and throw any piece of paper at the Speaker but was just demanding quick action on the issue. "I threw papers at the ground to draw attention to the issue and demanded answers from the Home Minister," he said.
