Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh, KTR & Derek O’Brien target Centre over House gridlock; government demands apology from suspended MPs
Twenty Rajya Sabha MPs suspended from sittings for the rest of the week began a 50-hour-long relay protest near the Gandhi Statue at the Parliament complex on Wednesday. Earlier in the week, four Lok Sabha MPs were suspended for “misconduct”.
Since the session began on July 18, the Opposition has been demanding a discussion on issues such as inflation, GST on essential items, and LPG price hike. With Parliament in limbo over the protests and suspensions, Opposition leaders have taken to social media to lash out at the BJP-led government, labelling it “dictatorial” and claiming that it is afraid.
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, the MP from Wayanad in Kerala, tweeted, “Why cylinder Rs 1053? Why GST on curd-cereals? Why Mustard Oil Rs 200? The ‘Raja’ arrested 57 MPs and suspended 23 MPs for asking questions on inflation and unemployment. The ‘king’ is afraid of questions in the temple of democracy, but we know how to fight dictators.”
सिलेंडर ₹1053 का क्यों? दही-अनाज पर GST क्यों? सरसों का तेल ₹200 क्यों?
महंगाई और बेरोज़गारी पर सवाल पूछने के अपराध में ‘राजा’ ने 57 MPs को गिरफ़्तार और 23 MPs को निलंबित किया।
