New Delhi, 16/12: A low decibel verbal sparring took place in Lok Sabha during Question Hour between Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani.
The episode began when the minister while replying to a question by BJD member Chandra Sekhar Sahu pertaining to her department, referred to him as “gentleman” instead of “honourable member”.
When Chowdhury objected to this along with some other members, and asked the minister to address the MP as “honourable member”, Irani retorted back by saying that Chowdhury was trying to please his political masters and score brownie points by making an issue out of nothing.
Former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was present in the Lok Sabha during the episode.
