Parliament session: Lok Sabha disrupted over protests against BJP leader Tarun Vijay's remarks

The proceedings of the Lok Sabha were adjourned briefly on Monday over the purported racial remarks of BJP leader Tarun Vijay.

As soon as the House took up Question Hour, Congress members raised the issue and demanded an apology.

As they raised slogans, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the proceedings for 10 minutes within ten minutes after the House had assembled for the day.

The debate continued after the session resumed. Here are the highlights of the LS debate on the issue:  

#Rajnath Singh:

India is a secular country, discrimination on basis of caste,creed,colour cannot be allowed here: Home Minister Rajnath Singh in LS

#M Kharge:
