New Delhi:
Lok Sabha on Monday witnessed noisy scenes after
Congress leader
Rahul Gandhi and other party colleagues strongly protested after he was not allowed to ask a second supplementary on a question related to wilful defaulters during
Question Hour.
The protests came after Speaker Om Birla announced the end of the Question Hour at noon as the designated time for it is 11 am to noon, leading to a walk out by Congress members.
Outside the parliament, Rahul Gandhi said his right to ask a supplementary question in Lok Sabha was taken away as Speaker Om Birla did not allow it.
He said he was hurt by the action as it was the duty of the speaker to protect his right to speak and ask a supplementary question.
Gandhi was asking the government to name wilful bank loan defaulters, but was not allowed another supplementary question amid uproar in the lower house.
"I was not allowed to ask supplementary question in Lok Sabha, this takes away my right as MP," Gandhi told reporters outside Parliament.
He also asked why the government is scared of naming wilful bank loan defaulters.
