Delhi Confidential: Dressing For The Occasion
The controversy surrounding attire in the Indian Parliament continues to unfold. Indian Union Muslim League MP P V Abdul Wahab, who appeared in a 'kurta-pyjama' during a session, encountered skepticism from Kerala MPs about his choice of clothing. When offered a traditional 'dhoti' by fellow lawmakers, Wahab accepted but ultimately opted to wear it over his pyjama.
Dissatisfied with the cumbersome arrangement, he eventually folded the 'dhoti' and placed it on his desk. Interestingly, the same Abdul Wahab later handed over the 'dhoti' to BJP MP Radha Mohan Das Agarwal, who had been seeking one for a similar occasion. Despite previous verbal clashes, Congress MP K C Venugopal and BJP MP Jagdambika Pal reconciled amicably in the corridors of the Parliament complex on the final day of the Monsoon session.
They warmly embraced, with Venugopal urging Pal to remain in good health until their next encounter.
