TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Narendra Modi dispensation has been “stalling” the Opposition’s demand for discussions on every issue which it feels would embarrass it, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor alleged Friday, slamming the government for “not allowing” discussion in Parliament on the Adani Group stock rout. The government, however, insisted that the Opposition should allow the debate on Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address immediately by ending disruptions.
“Whatever issues they want to flag, they can during the debate …Passage of the resolution thanking the President for her address to the joint sitting of the two Houses is a priority,” Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal told. Parliament proceedings have been hit due to protests by opposition members demanding a probe by a joint parliamentary committee into the fraud-allegation-triggered rout in Adani Group company stocks.
The Thiruvananthapuram MP said Parliament is a place to discuss issues facing the nation so that people can see “the concerns of the MPs and what the MPs are focussing on”. “Sadly, however, our government doesn’t see the merit of it. So they are stalling (discussions). As a result, now we have lost two days,” he charged. All the opposition parties unitedly want to discuss this (Adani Group issue) extremely important issue as it affects the citizens of this country. They believe that this is a matter of sufficient importance that the government should permit,” Tharoor told.
