Parliament Session: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday (June 25) took an oath as Lok Sabha MP, but stoked a controversy by hailing conflict-hit West Asian country, “Jai Palestine”, sparking a huge uproar in the Lower House of the Parliament, and forcing the slogan to be expunged. Radha Mohan Singh, who was in the Chair at the time, assured the members that anything apart from the oath will not go on record. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said he will check the rules regarding remarks. “”We do not have any enmity with Palestine or any other country. The only issue is, while taking the oath, is it proper for any member to raise the slogan praising another country? We will have to check the rules. Some members have come to me and complained about the raising of the Palestine slogan at the end of oath,” he said.
