Aiyar had set off a firestorm by calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi “neech aadmi” (a vile person). His remark was fraught with adverse consequences for the Congress in poll-bound Gujarat.
Lalu was asked if the RJD would accept Gandhi's elevation as the Congress President by virtue of which he may also come to head the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
BJP President Amit Shah expressed no surprise on Mani Shankar Aiyar's derogatory remark against PM Modi, here's why:
Aiyar, who had termed PM Modi uncivil in an earlier statement on Thursday, was forced to mince his words later in the day, "By 'neech' I meant 'low', if there is any other meaning of the word then I apologise for it."
A report released by the UPA government in 2014 had claimed that India's average economic growth rose to 7.7% in the 10-year regime of the Manmohan government.
United States' decision to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem has left India in diplomatic lurch. A long-standing Palestinian cause supporter, India has distance itself from US on the matter. But is it enough?
A sting operation against the then MPs was conducted by two journalists which was telecast on a private news channel on December 12, 2005.
"Yes, they called me 'Neech' but our value systems are strong. We have nothing to say to such elements. Our answer will come through ballot box."
"Meanwhile, Sibal in more trouble. Thanks to Gaurav Bhatia of BJP, and SC lawyer, I find that SC Order of 5/12 lists Sibal as Advocate for Sunni Wakf Board. Apologise to Namo, Sibal!", the BJP MP tweeted.
Sibal said instead of worrying about whom he represents in court, the prime minister should be more concerned about the problems before the country and his home state of Gujarat.
In a retort to PM Narendra Modi, senior lawyer Kapil SIbal asked him to check facts before saying something in public.
Sonia Gandhi also wrote that Kapoor has left a lasting legacy in some wonderful classic films, and in the Prithvi Theatre which he passionately recreated.
Haji Mehboob from the Sunni Waqf Board, the petitioner in the case, had earlier said that the board has nothing to do with Sibal’s statement even though he is representing them in the matter.
Rahul Gandhi has been campaigning extensively in the election-bound state, where the first phase of polling will take place on Saturday.
Sunni Waqf Board member Haji Mehboob said that Kapil Sibal argued the case in the apex court as a Congress leader and not on behalf of the board.
Surjewala's comments came soon after BJP chief Amit Shah asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his party to clear their stand on the Ram Janmabhoomi case.
Sinha and several scores of farmers were reportedly detained late on Monday evening after they launched an agitation outside the police headquarters.
Sharad Yadav today claimed the decision is a part of a "conspiracy" as the ruling BJP is in "panic" mode due to his efforts to bring together Opposition parties against it.
Owaisi justified the stand taken by Sunni Wakf Board's lawyer Kapil Sibal in Supreme Court that the hearing of the title suit be deferred till the elections.
Amit Shah accused the Congress of having "double standards" on the contentious issue and said the BJP on the other hand wanted an end to the matter as soon as possible.
