Reacting to the move, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh, in a tweet on Wednesday, said, "With the expunging of @RahulGandhi's remarks on PM linked Adani MahaMegaScam, deMOcracy was cremated in the Lok Sabha. OM Shanti."
Petrol and diesel prices rallied to their highest ever levels across the country, as rates were hiked again for the fifth consecutive day on Sunday.
