Congress lashes out at Opposition

Kochi: Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi on Saturday criticised the BJP and the other Opposition parties for disrupting Parliament proceedings and causing loss of valuable time.

Talking to the media, he said Parliament, especially Lok Sabha, had lost lot of time due to the disruption and walkouts of the Opposition. He said the government was not running away from any issue. This was not the way Parliament should function.

The Opposition should do an introspection and make sure that however controversial the issue might be, Parliaments time was not lost.

Asked about the proposed amendment to the Right to Information Act, he said that it was only at the discussion stage. No concrete draft on the proposed amendment was ready.
