BJP moves privilege motion in Lok Sabha against PM
The Prime Minister had told Parliament last week that no bribe was paid while the Kishore Chandra Deo committee, that looked into the issue, had stated that bribe was paid. It is expected that the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley will give the notice of breach of privilege against PM in the Upper House.
Congress is also planning to give breach of privilege notice against Sushma Swaraj for defying Speaker Meira Kumar's ruling on Friday.
The Speaker had asked Sushma Swaraj to move a calling attention motion on problems faced by Indian fishermen due to firing by Sri Lankan Navy on Friday. However, she insisted on a statement from the Prime Minister on the WikiLeaks expose relating to the 2008 trust vote and was supported by her party members.
