New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha Monday witnessed a stormy session that began with routine business but quickly descended into uproar after Leader of House J.P. Nadda raised the issue of slogans shouted during the Congress rally at Ramlila Maidan.
The calm of routine proceedings was shattered when Nadda rose to inform the House that Congress workers had shouted slogans such as “Modi Teri Kabar Khudegi, Aaj Nahi to Kal Khudegi.., (Modi, your grave will be dug, if not today, then tomorrow) Sunday during their rally in the national capital.
Nadda, speaking with visible pain, said such slogans reflect the mentality of the Congress party and clearly indicate the frustration of dynastic politics.
He added that wishing for the Prime Minister’s death is highly reprehensible and lowers the level of politics to an unimaginable extent.
As he demanded an apology from Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, who was present in the House, opposition benches erupted in protest, creating pandemonium that drowned out further proceedings.
The uproar continued, with the treasury benches condemning the remarks and the opposition resisting, leaving the House in chaos.
As the House drowned in pandemonium, Harivansh Narayan Singh adjourned the House till noon.
Earlier, at 11 a.m., as the House assembled, papers were laid, and ministers presented reports, continuing the regular parliamentary business.
