Kharge said, "I request you to remove from the record the remarks made by Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal on July 28 with reference to Sonia Gandhi.

I also urge that both the ministers apologize as they have violated parliamentary procedures and conventions.

Regarding Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's remark, the Finance Minister had said in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, "It is an insult to the President.

this is unacceptable.

Congress and its president should apologize for this.

Leader of the House Piyush Goyal also surrounded the Congress in the Rajya Sabha on this subject.
