In pictures: TV mike hits Rahul Gandhi in the eye

A TV crew's mike hit Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's eye outside Parliament on Thursday. The Amethi MP took it sportingly, wiped his eye and walked off. Earlier, Gandhi warned the government in Lok Sabha that his party will not allow any discussion in the house unless external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj resigned over the Lalit Modi controversy.

The Amethi MP seemed annoyed for a bit but then wiped his eye and walked off.

Gandhi later told reporters that his party will not allow any discussion in Parliament unless external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj resigned over the Lalit Modi controversy.

"We asked the PM what he thinks about Lalit Modi. We got no answer. We got no answer on the Vyapam scam, no answer on Chhattisgarh and no answer on Sushma," he said.
