The Minority Affairs Minister, who has received support from a good number of politicians including Muslim MPs from the NDA camp, parried a volley of questions while entering Parliament House.

Asked whether Monday could be his last day in the House, Antulay just pointed his fingers towards the sky. "Nothing is in anyone's hand," he quipped.

He also declined to comment on the diverging views in the Congress on possible action against him. "I am going inside the house. Let me see there," was his only reply when pressed.

He maintained silence on repeated queries whether he stuck to his earlier statement.

Earlier, the Rajya Sabha on Monday saw two adjournments after BJP members stormed the well of the House demanding sacking of Antulay for his controversial remarks on the circumstances leading to killing of Karkare.

CPI and CPI(M) on Monday differed in their approach towards Minority Affairs Minister A R Antulay's remarks on circumstances surrounding Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare's killing.

Terming it "unnecessary", CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat said that Antulay should not have made the statements. "As a minister in cabinet, it was unnecessary for him to make these statements... He should not have made the statements," Karat told reporters outside the parliament.

CPI leader D Raja, however, said "If a senior minister raises any issue, the government cannot brush away it. The government must come out clear on these issues."

"He (Antulay) has raised some issues. He is a senior minister and handling a very sensitive portfolio. It is for the government to explain...Why Congress is speaking in different voices?" Raja asked.

NCP chief Sharad Pawar, on being repeatedly asked to explain his stand on the issue, said: "When investigation is already on into the issue, why should any one say something on it. I do not think anybody should speak in between."

Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan meanwhile sought to caution against raking up the issue further.
