High drama in Rajya Sabha: TMC MP Santanu Sen snatches statement from IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

High drama unfolded in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday as the Opposition staged protest over a range of issues. Things got particularly ugly when Trinamool Congress MP Santanu Sen snatched statement paper from Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw as he rose to speak on the Pegasus snooping controversy. Sen then tore the paper and threw it towards the Deputy Chairman. As soon as Vaishnaw, who was scheduled to make a statement over the alleged phone tapping issue, rose to speak, the opposition MPs rushed to the Well of the House and raised slogans against the government.
