Parliament Highlights: No SC in Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, Sitharaman hits back at Rahul's remark on Halwa ceremony
FM Nirmala Sitharaman replied to the debate on the Union Budget in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The finance minister said that the budget is transparent and no state has been ignored in it. She also said that the opposition parties' claims that the minority budget has been reduced is completely false. The Lok Sabha also witnessed fiery spar between Hamirpur MP Anurag Thakur and Rahul Gandhi after Thakur made an apparent reference to the latter's caste. In reply, Gandhi said that the ruling party members can insult him all they want but he will keep fighting for the caste census. Gandhi also raised the issue of Wayanad landslides during the Zero Hour. He sought enhanced compensation to the next of kin of those killed in the landslides and restoration of vital transport and communication lines. Meanwhile, in Rajya Sabha Union Health Minister J P Nadda said asked the Congress party how many OBC members are there in the CWC or the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation?
