The Congress continues its protest against the government’s silence on the Vyapam scam even as both the houses of Parliament were adjourned, effectively ending the monsoon session of Parliament.

After the Rajya Sabha was adjourned, Rahul Gandhi joined the protesting Congress workers near Mahatma Gandhi’s statue outside the Parliament building.

The Parliament’s monsoon session was a complete washout because of the continuous protests by Congress workers who demanded the resignations of Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj, Chief Minister of Rajasthan Vasundhara Raje and Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

Focus is on Sushma, Jaitley defended Lalit Modi too. IPL has two networks, one visible to Indian youth and Lalit Modi’s network run by Lalit Modi with black money.

Sushma Swaraj took Congress apart in her statement on Wednesday’s session in Lok Sabha to which Vice President of Congress Rahul Gandhi said that she simply protected Lalit Modi’s network of corruption and black money.

Rahul Gandhi took potshots at the Prime Minister for the ‘na khaaunga na khaane dunga’ comment.

This is a big opportunity for Prime Minister to catch Lalit Modi, bring him back and clean cricket up.
