New Delhi: The ruling BJP's protests at Parliament on Thursday were derided by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which snidely recalled that it was once called the "party of anarchists" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his colleagues.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, re-tweeted a comment that mocked the BJP.Soon after, Mr Kejriwal re-tweeted a comment by his colleague Kumar Vishwas, who posted a visual reminder for the BJP - a campaign poster for the Delhi assembly election in February, in which it had targeted AAP and urged Delhi to stop supporting "dharne-walas" or sit-in protesters.Lawmakers from the BJP-led coalition marched today outside Parliament to accuse the Congress of holding the country's economic agenda ransom.

The monsoon session of Parliament ended today with important legislation including the landmark Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill left pending because the Congress refused to call off protests demanding the resignation of three top BJP leaders caught in controversies, including Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj.
