ls-briefly-adjourned-following-channi-bittu-verbal-spat

Following a verbal spat between Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi and BJP’s Ravneet Singh Bittu, over certain personal remarks, the Lok Sabha, on Thursday, was adjourned for 30 minutes.  

 

Debate participation on the union budget encircled around a quarrel between the two when Channi referred to the assassination of Bittu's grandfather, former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh.  

 

This led to a war of words between Bittu, who recently quit the Congress to join the BJP.

 

Bittu, the Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries countered by making certain personal remarks against Channi and former Congress President Sonia Gandhi, triggering an uproar.

 

In a heated exchange, Channi told Bittu, "Your grandfather became a martyr, the day you left Congress." To which, the BJP leader retorted, "My grandfather sacrificed for the country, not for Congress." He also called Channi "the most corrupt person in Punjab".

 

 

BJP member Sandhya Ray, who was in the chair, briefly adjourned the proceedings for 30 minutes till 2 pm.
