Venkaiah Naidu Expunges Sitharaman’s References to Sonia Gandhi in Rajya Sabha

He was told by Kharge that Modi is the Prime Minister of the country and his name can be taken in either Houses of Parliament, the sources said.

Naidu, after having heard both sides, sources said, is learnt to have agreed to the Opposition demand and expunged the references made directly to Sonia Gandhi in the House by Sitharaman on Thursday last.

Kharge had written to the Rajya Sabha chairman last week demanding that the name of Sonia Gandhi and references made to her be expunged from the records and had cited past precedents in favour of his contention.
