After disrupting the House for three days, Congress today demanded a structured discussion in the Rajya Sabha on naming of Hyderabad domestic airport, contending that Rajiv Gandhi's name has been removed.
Raising the issue, Deputy Leader of Congress Anand Sharma said the House has witnessed "expression of anger and anguish" over the issue in last two days.
He said the party has already given notice to Chairman Hamid Ansari for a discussion and a "structured discussion" on the issue should take place.
As some Congress members came into the aisle waving placards, Deputy Chairman P J Kurien pacified them saying if a notice has been given, the Chairman will take a decision.
