Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched an all-out attack on Congress, saying those who were "repeatedly rejected by people disrespect Parliament and democracy". Addressing the media ahead of the start of the winter session of Parliament, he said he was "hoping for healthy discussions".
