Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh was the object of singular praise in the House of Elders last week as he introduced the National Green Tribunal. While several MPs congratulated the minister on his proactive approach to environment and had several good words for him,it was RJD member Rajniti Prasads compliments that led to quite a few laughs in the Rajya Sabha. Praising the minister,Prasad said that not only were the ministers work and intent great but he himself was khoobsurat. Seeing several smiles in the House,Prasad immediately clarified that this was not to be taken otherwise or in any other sense.
