TMC chose to duck questions on their row with TDP over room at Parliament House as it gave a miss to the Newshour debate. Meanwhile, President Pranab Mukherjee urged Parliamentarians to maintain the dignity and sanctity of the temple of democracy. A row has erupted between TMC and TDP over space in Parliament House with each side staking claim to a particular room. The bone of contention is Room No.5 on the first floor, which has been occupied by the Andhra Pradesh party for many years but was allotted to the Mamata Banerjee-led outfit this August 6. TDP has been given a room on the third floor of Parliament House. However, the party, which has used Room No.5 "for the last 30 years", was in no mood to vacate it.
