Modi asked the Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, M Venkaiah Naidu - who not only chided the Congress member for “loose and unruly behaviour” but also advised her to visit a doctor if she has a problem - not to stop her as it was after ages that one had the opportunity to hear “such a laughter” after the serial Ramayana.
