Venkaiah Naidu raised the issue, accusing the government of bias as Congress MPs who allegedly violated the rules were not named."Why this discrimination? What is the rule? Naming of members of one party and showing discrimination (against others) is not acceptable," he said.

BJP members then walked out.AIADMK leader V.
