Without naming anyone, A. Raja stated that the comment about making India a “Hindu Rashtra” was made before the election. He challenged the protests from the Treasury benches by saying, “Move your privilege."Officiating Chair Jagdambika Pal intervened and asked the MP to authenticate his remark. Pal then invited BJP member Pralhad Joshi to comment, despite MP Raja refusing to yield the floor. Joshi also requested that Raja verify his claim.

A. Raja referred to the members of the Treasury benches as “bad elements.” In response, Mr. Dubey demanded an apology from A. Raja for this comment, stating, “We have been elected; how can he call us bad elements?”

Officiating Chair Jagdambika Pal declared that the comment had been expunged from the records.

While India has given equal voting rights to all, some claim that minorities have no rights in the country, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said on Saturday in an apparent jibe at the opposition.

Intervening in a debate on 75 years after the adoption of the Indian Constitution, the parliamentary affairs minister also cautioned that "our words and actions should not diminish the image of the country in the world fora".

India not only provides legal protection to minorities, it also has a provision for affirmative action to protect their interests, the minister asserted.

Rijiju said successive governments worked for the welfare of minorities. "The Congress has also done that, I am not undermining its role."

Rijiju was the first speaker on the second day of the debate in the Lok Sabha on 75 years of the Constitution's adoption

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, along with others, protested in the Parliament premises, demanding a relief package for Wayanad.

"We are very disturbed by the fact that the government is refusing to give the special relief package to Wayanad. We have requested the PM, everyone, to declare that this is a calamity of a severe nature and give a special package. Now, similar, large-scale destruction took place in Himachal Pradesh where Congress is in power. They have been demanding for the longest time that the Centre helps and gives assistance that is required to victims. Whole government has seen devastation, pain and suffering. Yet, just because of politics, in both cases the central government is refusing to do what is due to the victims," said Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi
