New Delhi, Tuesday, December 20, 2011: Opposition BJP today briefly disrupted proceedings in Rajya Sabha over Home Minister P Chidambaram allegedly helping a local hotelier and on a move to ban Bhagwad Gita in Russia.

Soon after the House mourned the deaths in southern Philippines due to cyclone, Chandan Mitra (BJP) raised the issue of Chidambaram allegedly helping his former client, a charge that has been vehemently denied by the Home Minister.
