BJP's Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi waved a newspaper that quoted Vaidik to be a fan of the Gandhi scion as he believed "Rahul Jaisa koi Nahi".
This infuriated the Congress members and led by former Commerce Minister Anand Sharma, they objected to the very mention of the name of Rahul, who is a member of the other House.
Deputy Chairman P J Kurien tried to pacify both the camps saying, "Point is if you wanted to quote from a paper, you should have taken prior permission. If there is no question and nobody is disputing then Chair has no problem, any member can bring a paper and quote anything."
He added it was not a practice in the House to make any "derogatory" comment on a member of the other House.

Sharma kept on shouting saying that the statement was offending.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, however, objected saying, "We don't subscribe your views. There is nothing derogatory and nothing negative... There is no comparison with terrorists... What he (Naqvi) is quoting is an article, referred to a particular newspaper... If it is wrong, then take him to task."
The matter ended after External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj rose to give a statement on the Vaidik-Hafiz meeting.
