Cong alleges Swaraj misled House, gives notice for privilege motion in RS

NEW DELHI: The Congress today gave a notice to move a privilege motion in the Rajya Sabha against External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj alleging that she misled the House on August 3 while replying to a debate on India’s foreign policy and engagement with strategic partners.

Congress members Ambika Soni, Vivek Tankha, Pratap Bajwa, Rajen Gohain, Rajeev Gowda and others alleged that in her reply to a short-duration discussion, Swaraj denied that any speech or statement was made by any representative of the Government at 60th anniversary of Bandung conference.

She also informed the House that none of the members of the Indian delegation was given an opportunity to deliver a speech on the occasion, which the Congress members are objecting to dubbing it as “false”. (AGENCIES)
