1. DMK wants PM Modi’s remarks against Minister Velu expunged
Leader of DMK’s parliamentary party T.R. Baalu wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, demanding the expunging of the “misleading” and “defamatory” remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Zubin Irani regarding Public Works Minister E.V. Velu in reference to his recent speech.
During their replies in the Lok Sabha this week on the no confidence motion moved by the Opposition parties, Mr. Modi and Ms. Irani attacked the DMK and the Congress by citing Mr. Velu’s speech, in which he had reportedly said that the word India did not have any impact on his party once upon a time.
