Darpan News Desk IANS, 03 Jul, 2019 05:17 PM

    Helping one side score a few points over another, poetry and couplets have long been a tradition in parliamentary discussions.


    On Wednesday, a recitation by a lawmaker from the ruling party, however, drew equal appreciation from both the treasury and opposition benches.


    During a session on Sufism and poetry in the Lok Sabha, BJP lawmaker from North West Delhi Hans Raj Hans left the Lok Sabha impressed with his rendition of a Ghazal written by Pakistani poet Razi Akhtar Shauq.


    Senior Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, son Rahul Gandhi and Jammu and Kashmir politician Farooq Abdullah were all seen thumping their desks in appreciation.
