Upset PM Modi leaves Lok Sabha |
A "visibly" upset Prime Minister Narendra Modi left the Lok Sabha on December 2 as opposition members created a din demanding the sacking of Union minister VK Singh.After some 40 minutes of uproar, during which Speaker Sumitra Mahajan`s repeated requests to the protesting MPs to calm down fell on deaf ears, Modi left the House. The opposition MPs said they wanted minister of state for external affairs VK Singh out of the government for making "derogatory comments" against dalits.Parliamentary affairs minister M Venkaiah Naidu also tried to pacify the agitated members, saying the minister had already clarified the issue and there was no point stretching it further. As the Question Hour got over amid the din, the Speaker again requested the opposition to let the house function but the protesting MPs instead walked out.
