BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on March 05 slammed DMK leader A Raja and alleged that he called for India’s Balkanisation in his viral speech. In his address, the MP said, “To organize this press conference became necessary because it seems INDIA bloc have formed the habit of defaming the identity of Bharat and hearting Indian sentiments have become their political agenda.” Pointing to Deputy General Secretary of DMK A. Raja’s speech where he mentioned India as a sub-continent he fumingly said, “This is a Maoist ideology for your knowledge.”

Politicians A Raja and Suresh Kalmadi may have recently spent about a year in jail each, but both men, who are Lok Sabha MPs, have been nominated to important parliamentary committees. Video courtesy: NDTV
