Opposition to move privilege against against Sushma Swaraj in RS
The opposition leaders have alleged that Swaraj, by claiming that no representative from India delivered r any speech during the Bandung conference has provided wrong information to the Rajya Sabha as there are pictorial evidences speaking against her claim.
The Bandung conference issue cropped up on Thursday when senior Congress member Anand Sharma alleged that first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's name was omitted from the address delivered by Minister of State for External Affairs VK Singh at the conference.
However, Swaraj said India didn't address the Bandung Conference. She said the speech in question was delivered at a separate conference.
The second privilege is for Swaraj "misinforming" the House, claiming that there was no terror incident after PM Modi's 2015 Lahore visit.
The opposition said that the Pathankot terror attack took place immediately after Modi's visit and there were five other terror-related incidents.
Sharma also wanted to know why PM Modi made the Lahore visit and "why, till date, nobody knows the details of the meeting".
