Follwing this, the BJP lashed at the AIMIM MP calling it "absolutely wrong" and that such slogans are against the rules of the House. 

"The slogan 'Jai Palestine' given by AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi in Parliament today is absolutely wrong. This is against the rules of the House. He does not say 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' while living in India... People should understand that he does unconstitutional work while living in the country," Union Minister G Kishan Reddy said.

The first session of the 18th Lok Sabha was held on Monday, during which PM Modi and Union Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and Nitin Gadkari took oath as members. Besides PM Modi, his Council of Ministers were also sworn in. The first day concluded in the evening yesterday, after which it was announced that the session would commence on June 25 at 11 AM.
