The BJP, on Sunday, lambasted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for not having done anything to break the impasse in parliament but just expressing concern over Parliament’s disruptions. Talking to reporters, BJP’s spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said, “The Prime Minister has spoken on the Parliament impasse outside the country. But he never made any attempt to resolve the issue when he was in Delhi and never opened his mouth in Parliament on the issue.”
Parliament’s functioning has been disrupted over the Opposition’s demand for a JPC into the 2G scam, ever since the start of the winter session.
Blaming the Centre for the imbroglio in Parliament, Mr Hussain said, “The Prime Minister should keep in mind that his government’s corruption and its stubborn attitude in not agreeing to a JPC probe are threatening democracy in this country.”
Describing the UPA government as the most corrupt, the BJP spokesperson added, “The image of this government has taken a beating. We want to remind this government that the Opposition is united on the JPC demand and we will continue to demand it till the government agrees to it.” Indicating that there would be no let-up on the part of the opposition for a JPC probe into the 2G scam, Mr Hussain said, “After Parliament session is over, we will take this fight to the roads and when Parliament budget session resumes, we will continue the protest.”
