The Congress Party on Tuesday raised the Moga molestation case in both houses of Parliament.
There was an uproar in Parliament as soon as the Congress raised this issue.
The Lok Sabha Speaker later rejected the Congress' call for an adjournment motion on the issue.
A Punjab and Haryana High Court bench had yesterday recused from hearing the Moga molestation case in which a teenage girl died after she and her mother were allegedly pushed off a moving bus for

The bus in which the crime took place reportedly belonged to Orbit Transport Company, owned by Orbit Aviation Pvt Ltd, which is co-owned by Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.
