Protest in LS over Pappu Yadav's arrest

Congress member Ranjeet Ranjan today raised the issue of the arrest and alleged handcuffing of her husband and expelled RJD MP Pappu Yadav in Patna.
She claimed in Lok Sabha that her husband taken into custody while demonstrating outside the state assembly. But he was arrested for an earlier protest he had held outside the Raj Bhawan.
She alleged that he was denied bail and taken to court later with handcuffs on, which was violative of Supreme Court orders.
Her demand was supported by Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge who said the House must condemn it.
Some BJP members were heard taking a dig at Congress saying their party was an alliance partner in the state's ruling combination.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said she had spoken with the authorities in the state and sought a report in this regard. "We will see what action can be taken," she said.
