So, Union Minister Smriti Irani is trending on Twitter yet again, this time for her fiery speech in Parliament yesterday. Irani responded to allegations from opposition members on what they called, the "saffronising" or giving a Hindu tinge to education.

Irani had a direct face-off with Trinamool Congress member and historian Sugata Bose, who is also the grand-nephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra  Bose.

Bose had criticised the HRD ministrys functioning over the past 11 months during the discussion on the Demand for Grants for HRD. The  debate in Parliament yesterday was on the demand for grants for her human resource development ministry.

She addressed Dr Bose as 'that professor' and pointed her finger at him while replying to the debate.

This agitated the Trinamool Congress members and party senior Saugata Roy intervened. The way she raised her finger at an eminent historian like Prof. Sugata Bose is just not acceptable in the Lok Sabha. As an old-time member, I would like to submit that a Minister should not point a finger and ask a member, that too an eminent historian like Prof. Sugata Bose, to sit down."

Irani hit back saying, there was no question of an apology to him and addressed the TMC members in Bengali saying, "Aapni jokhon bolechhen, boshey shojjo korun. Aamar jobab aashete din. (If you have made allegations, then sit through my reply)," she said as Trinamool Congress MPs interrupted her.
