On the first day of the winter session of Parliament, which began on December 4, the Leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, raised the issue of the death sentence against eight former Indian navy officers by a court in Qatar and demanded that the government must exhaust every resource to bring them back.
As the House began its sitting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was greeted with slogans of “Teesri baar, Modi sarkar [Modi government for a third time]” after the party’s hat-trick win in the Assembly elections, results of which were declared on Sunday.
