Trinamool Congress targets BJP in Parliament

A day after BJP President Amit Shah's rally in Kolkata attacking Mamata Banerjee government, Trinamool Congress sought to corner the ruling party in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha by displaying a red diary.

The Trinamool members alleged that the diary was recovered from Roy and claimed that it contained name of a BJP leader.

In the Lok Sabha, Trinamool Congress members rushed to the well shouting slogans. They demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should explain what action CBI has taken after the name allegedly figured in the diary. They later staged a walkout.

TMC leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay had given a notice for suspension of Question Hour to discuss the issue which was rejected by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said rules do not permit any member naming anyone who is not a member of the House. They also cannot display placards, he said.   

To this, the Speaker said the name of the BJP leader would not go on record.
