Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is expected to speak in Parliament today during a debate on 'rising intolerance' in the country.

The Lower House had witnessed a fierce debate on the issue after Left leader Mohd Salim accused Home Minister Rajnath of saying that "India is seeing a Hindu leader for the first time in 800 years".

The comments by Mohd Salim, who cited a report in a news magazine while initiating the debate on 'intolerance, led to a deadlock with the ruling side demanding that he either withdraw these comments or apologise.

The logjam, because of which the House was adjourned four times, was resolved in the evening after Speaker Sumitra Mahajan expunged the remarks related to the allegations.
