AIADMK member gets into spat with Kanimozhi in RS
NEW DELHI: AIADMK member V Maitreyan got into a verbal duel with Rajya Sabha chairperson Hamid Ansari and DMK member Kanimozhi on Friday when he asked telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad if he was aware of the projected loss to Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited due to private telephone exchange at the residence of a former minister, a reference to Dayanidhi Maran.
Though Maitreyan didn’t take the name of former telecom minister Maran, Ansari said such allegations cannot be made.
As Kanimozhi protested, Maitreyan insisted there was nothing wrong with his question. “I want to know about revenue loss. If there is any investigation, let him say what is the loss...What is wrong in my question,” Maitreyan asked.
He stormed to the well of the house but Ansari stood his ground and said such specific query cannot be made as a supplementary to a question. “You need to protect me,” Maitreyan pleaded. “House needs to be protected from your tactics,” Ansari retorted.
Maitreyan did not budge and DMK members continued to protest against the question. Ansari adjourned the house for 10 minutes. Later, the minister said he will send the reply to him directly.
