Claim: Venkaiah Naidu, Vice Chairman of Rajya Sabha cried in the Parliament after forceful passage of a bill aimed at selling off the LIC.
Fact-check: No, Venkaiah Naidu did not break down because of the forceful passage of the bill aiming to sell off LIC - FACTLY
Verdict: on 12 august 2021, vice president venkaiah naidu while addressing a session broke down into tears expressing his anguish over the protest created by the opposition mps the previous day. his breakdown has nothing to do with government selling its stake in lic, which was done through the finance act, 2021 earlier in march. whereas on 12 august 2021 rajya sabha passed "the general insurance business  amendment bill, 2021", which allows private participation in the public sector insurance companies and this bill has nothing to do with lic. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
