Rajya Sabha disrupted for the second straight day

| | Dec 03, 2015, at 07:53 pm
New Delhi, Dec 3 (IBNS) Proceedings in Rajya Sabha were disrupted again on Thursday over Coal and Power Minister Piyush Goyal's comment on on the remarks made by Congress leader Kumari Selja about her entry to a Gujarat temple.
Even though the minister expressed his regret, Selja refused to accept it  and efforts were being made outside the House to resolve the matter through a series of meetings of leaders of various parties with Chairman Hamid Ansari and Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien.

Congress members created uproar soon after the House mourned the death of thousands in the Bhopal gas leakage accident 31 years ago.

Shouting slogans, the Congress members trooped into the Well of the House demanding apology by Goyal.
 
Selja, while participating in a debate on the Constitution on Monday, had alleged that she had faced discrimination at the temple when she visited there as a Union Minister some years back as she was asked about her caste.

She had alleged that "this was also a form of the Gujarat model". 

Commenting on this, Goyal on Wednesday said it was "manufactured discrimination", leading to uproar because of which the House failed to transact business  most part of the day.
