New Delhi: A statement in the Rajya Sabha by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on her Pakistan visit was drowned out in an uproar by Congress members, who demanded action against the Punjab government.

As the minister, who visited Pakistan last week, stood up to read out her statement, Congress members promptly trooped to the chairman's podium, called the government "anti-Dalit" and sought the sacking of the Punjab government.
