For the first time since he became a member last week, Subramanian Swamy spoke in the Rajya Sabha uninterrupted, without making any provocative remarks and without being disturbed by the Opposition.
Swamy stood up to speak on two other occasions in the past week, and both times he created a flutter by linking Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and her family with the AgustaWestland helicopter scam.
On the first occasion, in fact, he could not even complete a sentence, having brought up Sonia?s name at the start of his speech. The second time, on Tuesday, he could speak for more than 15 minutes but amid strong protests by the Congress.
