A Congress member today created flutter in the Rajya Sabha as he apparently took photographs of actress-turned-politician Jaya Bachchan with his mobile to which she objected. Pradeep Kumar Balmuchu (Congress) allegedly clicked the SP member using his mobile phone amid ruckus created by members of Samajwadi Party,DMK and AIADMK over various issues. Soon after Renuka Chowdhury,who was in the Chair,adjourned the House a little after 2 pm,Bachchan told her colleagues that Balmuchu was clicking pictures using his mobile phone which was unacceptable. After the objections,Balmuchu tried to delete the pictures from his camera. Congress member Ambika Soni intervened and asked Balmuchu to say sorry for his action. Balmuchu then went up to Bachchan to seek an apology,but she did not relent and instead said,"You will have to pay a price for this." Balmuchu then went back to his seat and with the help of another member deleted the pictures taken in his mobile phone. Some other Congress members also tried to intervene and resolve the matter,which took place after the House had adjourned for an hour.
