Lok Sabha on Wednesday saw a furious debate between the treasury benches and the Opposition over the issue of visa to Lalit Modi over which Parliament has been stalled for several days. Here are some of the verbal duels heard in the House as Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley faced off with Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge.

 

Since you like holidaying so much, next time you take a break, I suggest you read up on your family history, read all the kale karname (wrong deeds) and ask, 'momma, how much money did we make in the Quattrocchi case, why did we let (1984 Bhopal gas tragedy accused) Warren Anderson go?

Yesterday, Sushmaji held my hand and said Beta (son), why are you upset with me? What did I do? I said I respect you and looked you in the eye and said I am speaking the truth. You looked down.

 
 

The difficulty with Mr. Rahul Gandhi is that he's an expert without any knowledge.

Today, the Prime Minister does not have the guts to sit in this House..Mr Prime Minister, you need to speak. Lalit Modi is nothing but a symbol of black money.

 
 

Sushma Swarajji must resign on moral grounds and for direct or indirect involvement.

Mallikarjun Kharge said I admitted my fault. Honorable speaker what I said was if helping a woman suffering from cancer who's an Indian citizen is a fault, then I accept my fault.
