Uproar continues over the National Herald case in the Rajya Sabha. The Congress moves an adjournment motion to discuss BJP lawmaker Virendra Singh, who made controversial comments against its leaders. In a debate in Parliament yesterday, Singh said while the Congress is talking about the pain of the farmers, their leaders Jyotiraditya Scindia and Rahul Gandhi cannot even identify between bajra, jowar and wheat.

"They have known farmers through books," he said, adding that the Congress had a problem with a "poor" becoming the Prime Minister and it thought that the post was reserved only for those from the Nehru Gandhi family.

The Congress has demanded that the Speaker ask the MP to apologise. BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu said he condemned the personal remarks made  against Rahul and Jyotiraditya Scindia.


Meanwhile, PM Narendra Modi today said it is a matter of sorrow that Parliament is not running.

For the third consecutive day yesterday, the Congress disrupted Parliament over the 'National Herald' controversy. So far, the Congress has not found much support, except from the Trinamool Congress.
