BJD member's remark creates heat in Lok Sabha

A remark by a BJD member against BJP leader S S Ahluwalia created heat in the Lok Sabha for a brief period, forcing him to withdraw it.

BJD member Pinaki Misra made a remark while participating in the discussion on demands for grants of the Ministry of Environment and Forests.

The Treasury bench protested against the remark and M Thambidurai, who was in the Chair at that time, said nothing would go on record.

Sensing that he had made an unwelcome comment, Misra said he withdraws it.
