Finance minister Arun Jaitley speaks in Rajya Sabha, says "allegations made by Congress against MoS Home Kiren Rijiju completely baseless. I dare them to come for a debate." As uproar continues in the Upper House, the chair adjourns the house for the day.


Under attack over the alleged power projects scam in Arunachal Pradesh, Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday rejected allegations of wrongdoing and said those who have "planted" the story against him "will be beaten up with shoes". "Jo news plant kar rahe hain wo hamare yehan ayyenge to joota khayenge (Those who planted the story will be beaten up with shoes when they will come to our area)," the Tawang MP told reporters in New Delhi reacting to media reports that he had written a letter to Power Minister Piyush Goyal seeking early clearance of bills related to a hydroelectric project in Arunachal Pradesh.
