Sugata Bose (Trinamool Congress) sought an "authoritative" statement from the government on the fate of 39 missing Indians in Iraq.
He referred to a media report which said Badush prison in Iraq's Mosul, where these Indians were seen last, was in ruins.
His party colleage Saugata Roy referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aerial survey of the flood-affected Gujarat and the central package for the state and demanded that all flood-affected states be treated "on an equal footing".
