The winter session of Rajya Sabha began on a stormy note today with the opposition demanding an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “conspiracy with Pakistan” remarks against his predecessor Manmohan Singh, creating uproar and repeatedly disrupting proceedings. An angry opposition led by the Congress accused Mr. Modi of levelling “serious charges” against Mr. Singh, former Vice President Hamid Ansari and diplomats.
Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu disallowed a notice by Congress and other opposition members under rule 267 for suspension of the business of the House to discuss the matter, which led to further noisy scenes.
