Aadhar legislation is a money bill: Arun Jaitley in Lok Sabha. He overruled the Congress' objections that it has been turned into a money bill to avoid voting in the Rajya Sabha where the government does not have a majority.

He also sought to allay privacy concerns, saying the bill has made provisions for that. "There will be no sharing of Aadhar data without consent of residents and no biometric data will be shared even with their consent," he said.

Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi slammed Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for his comments over liquor baron Vijay Mallya. 

"This government won't give any concession to anyone like Congress gave it to Quattrocchi or anyone responsible for looting the peoples' money won't be spared," he said.

"It would be better for Rahul Gandhi if he asks his mummy ji, and Manmohan ji as to how the biggest culprit in this country Quattrocchi could flee away from India," he added.

Naqvi further said in Mallya's case the law will firmly take its course. "Every single penny would be addressed, Rahul Gandhi doesn't need to worry about that," he added.

Janata Dal United leader Sharad Yadav in the Rajya Sabha asked how the fine of Rs. 5 crore has still not been paid. "Sri Sri says he will not pay the fine. Send him to jail. Is he above the law? Is the government involved with him?" he asked.
