Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee lost his cool on being interrupted by a lawmaker in parliament on Tuesday, while replying to a question on shortage of food items. Mukherjee was replying to a question in Rajya Sabha, when a lawmaker asked him about the status of sugar. Mukherjee shouted at her saying that he does not like this kind of behaviour, and uproar followed in the house. When Mukherjee calmed down, he said that there was shortage of sugar and the government had asked for importing duty free sugar.
