The Winter Session of Parliament is expected to commence around November 20 and is likely to be a month-long affair.

The BJP today started its press conference blitz across all states to counter the Congress' claims of their party shielding corrupt leaders, a day after the monsoon session of the Parliament ended with disruptions, and no legislation work being done due to Congress' demand for resignation of three senior BJP leaders over the issue of proximity to t...

With protests that prevented Parliament from functioning every day of its nearly three-week session, the Congress has rivalled the assault on democracy during the Emergency, the Prime Minister told his party and allies today.

In a sharp response to Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's barbs in Parliament referencing the Bofors controversy, Rahul Gandhi said today: "For 30 years the BJP has lied about my father."

Rahul Gandhi offered some career advice to the Prime Minister today, urging him to "grab the opportunity" to bring disgraced cricket magnate Lalit Modi back to India. "After we lost the election, I thought (PM Modi) had it in him, but now we know, he doesn't have dum (guts)," said Mr Gandhi, whose party has accused the ruling BJP's top leaders of i...

In Parliament on Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi responded to Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's attack with an acrimonious counter that also included digs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress vice president apparently made notes of his talking points, which was captured by an alert photographer.

Straining to be heard above a ceaseless chorus of slogans, Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj delivered a strident attack on the opposition Congress as she declared "I committed no mistake" in reference to her assistance that allowed tainted cricket tycoon Lalit Modi to get urgent travel papers last year.

Initiating a debate in the Lok Sabha on "Lalitgate", the controversy that has left parliament paralysed, the Congress today posed seven questions on foreign minister Sushma Swaraj's assistance to tainted cricket moghul Lalit Modi.

Asserting that she is ready "this very minute", Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj told the Opposition Congress to begin a debate on the controversy that has left parliament paralysed - her assistance that allowed tainted cricket tycoon Lalit Modi to travel from the UK to Portugal last year for his wife's cancer treatment.
