LS adjourned following ruckus over Harsh Vardhan's remarks

February 07, 2020 12:37

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for nearly an hour on Friday following ruckus over Union Minister Harsh Vardhan's remarks on Rahul Gandhi's recent statement against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During Question Hour when Rahul rose to ask a question, Harsh Vardhan said he would like to first "unequivocally condemn the outlandish remarks of the Congress leader against Prime Minister Narendra Modi" made during an election rally. This led to a sharp reaction from opposition benches forcing the chair to adjourn the House till 1 pm. -- PTI
