New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha chair on Thursday pulled up Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju for not coming on time for a calling attention motion, with Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien asking him to take parliamentary work more seriously.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the minister had submitted a statement on the matter, but the opposition members said they did not get copies.
Kurien said the calling attention motion could not be taken up unless either of the ministers from the home ministry was present.
"If the home minister was not able to be present or the MoS was not able to be present, why was it not intimidated to the chair?" Kurien asked.
Within minutes, Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju reached the upper house, and was pulled up by the chair.
