New Delhi : The entire nation got to know about the tiff between the Samajwadi Party’s (SP) Amar Singh and Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) S.S. Ahluwalia in the Rajya Sabha over raising ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans. But was there more to it than meets the eye?
Amar Singh rushed towards the BJP member and pushed him. Following this, Ahluwalia, a Sikh, was heard asking the SP leader why he was targeting a member of one minority community to protect another.
Amar Singh, who later apologised for his behaviour, said he was against any religious slogans being raised in the house.
Some MPs, including the Nationalist Congress Party leader Tariq Anwar, however, felt the episode was “stage-managed” and the two leaders actually wanted to send a message to their constituencies.
