India, Aug. 7 -- A light-hearted moment involving Congress MP KC Venugopal unfolded outside Parliament today over Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju's defence of Home Minister Amit Shah.

As Venugopal was walking towards his car, a reporter told him that Rijiju had claimed the Opposition "wouldn't be able to digest" the Home Minister's reply in the House.

Hearing this, the Congress leader, who had just settled into his car, rolled down the window and clapped his hands in amusement and remarked, "The biggest joke I heard today is that."

The biggest joke in Parliament was Kiren Rijiju's statement," he remarked again, adding, "There was a discussion on the examination bill, he (Amit Shah) could have come," news agency ANI reported...
