Rahul Gandhi says House must run; 'Only when Congress decides,' Trinamool scoffs

India Today  

INDIA bloc allies Congress and the Trinamool Congress continued to speak in contrasting voices on Wednesday as protests disrupted yet another day of Parliament's Winter Session. While Congress MP Rahul Gandhi assured that the Opposition's aim was for the Lok Sabha to function, Trinamool, however, struck a divergent note with MP Kalyan Banerjee accusing the Congress, along with the BJP, of dictating how the House functions. In total contradiction to Rahul Gandhi's remarks, Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee said the House functions according to the BJP and Congress. RAHUL GANDHI URGES REMOVAL OF DEROGATORY REMARKS Rahul Gandhi also informed that he spoke to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and urged the latter to expunge remarks made against him by BJP MPs. Earlier in the day, Congress Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi wrote to the Speaker, urging him to examine the party's complaint against BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's "defamatory remarks" against Rahul Gandhi and remove them from the record.
