New Delhi: The National Herald case on Tuesday had its impact on Parliament with a combative Sonia Gandhi leading members of her party and Trinamul in protesting the alleged “vendetta politics”.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha failed to transact any business as Congress members were in the Well all the time, shouting slogans against the government, leading to repeated adjournments before the final one at minutes past 3 pm. Trouble started in both the Houses soon after they assembled for the day at 11 am. In Lok Sabha, Trinamool joined Congress
in the protest against “political vendetta”, with Gandhi being actively involved in directing the protests. While no Congress member specified the issue over which they were agitating, their vociferous protests came a day after the Delhi HC declined to give Sonia and Rahul any relief in the National Herald case, asking them to appear before the trial court.
In Rajya Sabha, after adjournments, Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad said it is painful to see the “atmosphere of political vendetta” in the country where ruling party seems all out to make an “opposition-free India” since it came to power.
