Congress raises VK Singh issue in LS in different manner

The Congress, which is targeting minister VK Singh over the ‘dog’ remark, on Monday raised the issue in the Lok Sabha in a different way with party leader Mallikarjun Kharge protesting deletion of certain comments made by him on the issue last week.

Kharge complained to Speaker Sumitra Mahajan during the Zero Hour that part of what he had said in the House on December 2 on issue related to Singh has not become part of the records despite the fact that she had not expunged any of his statements on that day. Kharge said it was “gross injustice”.

The Speaker told him that he could not raise an issue without giving any prior notice as she was herself unaware of the matter. 

MoS for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Pratap Rudy objected to the Congress leader speaking in this manner, saying it was like “free for all” which cannot be permitted.
