New Delhi, Aug 7 : Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Tuesday said that the Congress and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) are conspiring to not let Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah speak in the Rajya Sabha.

"He (Amit Shah) is the President of the world's largest party. Won't he be allowed to speak in the upper House of which he is a member? It is not just TMC ... there is a tacit support of the Congress party too (in not allowing Shah to speak)," Prasad told reporters outside Parliament.

Earlier in the Rajya Sabha, as Shah stood up to speak on the hiked MSP for kharif and agrarian issues, the TMC members came near the Chairman's podium and shouted slogans.

When Chairman Naidu tried to invoke the Rule that allows the Chair to remove a disrupting member from the House, the Congress MPs stood up in protest.

Prasad said the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Amendment Bill 2018, too, was listed in the day's business which could not be taken up due to disruptions and adjournments.

"The Congress is anti-Dalit and anti-tribal," he said.

Greater Noida: The Bisrakh Police have arrested Rahul Chaturvedi, an IIM graduate, for allegedly duping over 20 women across Delhi-NCR by luring them into romantic relationships through fake profiles on matrimonial websites. Chaturvedi, hailing from Lucknow's Sahara Building, posed as a high-ranking executive to gain the trust of his victims, swindling them out of money and valuable items.

Operating under false identities, Chaturvedi used matrimonial sites like Jeevansathi.com and Better Half, presenting himself as an HR Regional Manager at Wipro. He extorted expensive items, including iPhones and cash, by promising marriage to his victims. One woman filed a complaint after losing Rs 2 lakh and an iPhone to him, leading to his arrest.

During interrogation, Chaturvedi admitted to scamming at least 20 women, using forged salary slips to bolster his claims of affluence. The police are investigating further to identify additional victims.
