Sadhvi row: Modi to attend Rajya Sabha, Oppn out with knives

December 04, 2014 08:51

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to appear in the Rajya Sabha during the Question Hour on Thursday amidst the stalemate in the Parliament over the alleged hate speech made by the Union minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti during a recent rally in Delhi.

Even after disrupting the Parliaments work for two consecutive days the opposition MPs seems to be adamant and united to disrupt both Houses of Parliament for the third day today, demanding her resignation and the government categorically saying no.

A united Opposition created an uproar in both houses, leading to repeated adjournments in the Rajya Sabha and once in the Lok Sabha yesterday.

However, Delhi Police had yesterday registered a complaint against the minister.

Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti triggered a row while addressing a rally in the national capital on Monday when she said, "The people of Delhi have to decide if they want a government of ha***zadon (descendants of Ram) or ha***zadon (those who are illegitimately born)."

Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu had appealed to the Opposition yesterday, to not disrupt the Question Hour to be held today, saying they can talk out and walk out but "let there be no break out".

Trouble is expected again today when Prime Minister Modi will arrive in the Rajya Sabha for answering questions relating to departments under his charge.
