New Delhi:

The budget session is underway in the Parliament and the House will resume discussion on the motion of thanks on the President's address that was initiated by a BJP MP on Wednesday.

The House will start with obituary references to the passing away of ex-Rajya Sabha Member Jamana Devi Barupal.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu said, "Yesterday, we had a disruption-free proceedings during debate on President's Address. I hope it will continue in future."

On Wednesday, Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi had launched a blistering attack on the Prime Minister on foreign policy, accusing him of "bringing China and Pakistan" together. In a speech slamming the BJP-government, Mr Gandhi said that the country has been surrounded by adversaries on all sides and is isolated in the region.

Four reports of department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture; one report of the Joint Committee on Offices of Profit; and one report of the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy on Financial constraints in Renewable Energy Sector will be tabled in the Rajya Sabha on today.

Kiren Rijiju Slams Rahul Gandhi's Remarks In Parliament
"Rahul Gandhi makes remarks that harm the country and benefit the rivals. A responsible leader should never talk like that. Don't want Rahul Gandhi's India where people travel abroad secretly. We want India with a vision to serve people," said Law Minister Kiren Rijiju.

BJP keeps up attack on Rahul Gandhi over Parliament speech
The BJP continued to attack Rahul Gandhi on Thursday over his speech in Parliament, with Union minister Kiren Rijiju saying the Congress leader is used to behave like India's "yuvraj" and now thinks that he is its king.

BJP vice president Baijayant Jay Panda mocked him saying that the "king of comedy is increasingly turning out to also be the prince of darkness".

"Yes, of course the Constitution defines India as a union of states. No issue there, but to extrapolate from that to say India is 'not a nation' is not merely ludicrous, but downright sinister," he said.

BJP MP gives Breach of Privilege, Contempt notice in Lok Sabha against Rahul Gandhi
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey gave a 'Breach of Privilege' and 'Contempt of the House' notice in Lok Sabha against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for "inciting" people by his speech in the Parliament yesterday.

In his letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, the BJP MP alleged that the comments made by Wayanad MP about "two-India's" yesterday should be categorised as "Contempt Of The House" and also said that the Congress leader used "unparliamentary" terminology.

The Godda MP said, "In his speech, he has uttered that 'India is described as a Union of States and not described as a Nation'. He has further co-related this with making a hollow, baseless and childish prophecy that the people of Tamil Nadu, etc, would never allow themselves to be ruled by the present Government/Party."
