“What action are you going to take? Otherwise we will have to agitate not only inside but outside too,” said Kharge in the Lok Sabha.

“Are people living in South India part of country or not? This shows your mentality. Do you want to divide India?” he added.

Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan asked the opposition members that this matter be raised during the Zero Hour while asserting that she would also ask the concerned minister to respond too.

“If you want to bring it on record, raise it during the Zero Hour or else I am not allowing it,” said Mahajan.

Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha also witnessed some opposition parties denouncing the government over alleged misuse of enforcement agencies.
