BJP MPs offer roses to protesting Congress MPs

Some BJP MPs on Tuesday offered roses to their Congress rivals in the Lok Sabha. This sarcastic move was pulled off against Congress MPs protesting over alleged atrocities against Dalit youths in Punjab.

When Speaker Sumitra Mahajan rejected notices for adjournment of the Question Hour including one on the Punjab Dalit issue, Congress MPs came into the Well and started chanting anti-PM and anti-BJP slogans.

As Congress members shouted slogans like 'PM sharam karo' (PM shame, shame) and 'dismiss Punjab government', six BJP members entered the Well and offered roses to the Congress MPs.

Soon some senior BJP members pulled their party colleagues out of the Well.

As soon as the House met for the day, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said she had disallowed notices of adjournment motions on different issues and the issues can be raised later.
