After a week full of slugfest between a united opposition and the government, the eighth day is expected to be no less different. A row erupted in the parliament today over statements by Congress leader Anand Sharma, over the inaugural speech of President Ram Nath Kovind yesterday. Mr Sharma said that, Mr Kovind insulted Jawahar Lal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi by not mentioning them in his speech. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley called it a diversionary tactic and requested that his remarks be expunged. The seventh day was marked with the swearing-in ceremony of President Ram Nath Kovind.
