Gold & The Indian Parliament

Tejaswini Ramesh, a TV anchor-turned-Congress MP from Karnataka, pleaded with Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee to be allowed to put a supplementary question on gold prices, giving an unusual reason.

Gold, she opined, was an effective instrument for women to exploit men with.

"It is a very good investment for citizens, but the prices have become too high for ordinary people to afford," she pointed out.

"We request the government to reduce the gold prices so people can invest money for the future of the country."


Many in the House burst out laughing, including the Speaker who only a day ago was anguished and had threatened to resign over allegations of dictatorial attitude.
