Now, opposition in Rajya Sabha demands that Arun Jaitley's remarks be expunged
Meanwhile, in Rajya Sabha Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad expressed displeasure over Arun Jaitley's remarks that opposition raised some issues for grabbing media attention. Mr Azad said,"We only raise the issues of Dalits etc..not for TV. We know it (television) mostly covers the government, not us. They strangled the TV three years back, it doesn't cover us."
Mr Azad, then added that Mr Jaitley's remarks be expunged.
Amid, repeated requests from other opposition leaders that Mr Jaitley "take back his words", Congress leader Kapil Sibal said: "I never expected the Leader of the House to degenerate...to destroy the sanctity of the House... I have never seen the level of arrogance that I am now seeing in the Treasury Benches."
Amid all the chaos, Textile Minister Smriti Irani urged for continuation of House proceedings.
