New Delhi, Nov 18, TEN Network | The opposition-led by the Congress came to the well of the house and were joined by DMK, NCP leaders. Chanting slogans like “Tanhashaai band Karo” (urging the government to stop muzzling the opposition) and “we want justice,” members demanded the release of National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah.
Speaker Om Birla as well as Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi appealed to the protesting MPs to debate the issues that they want to raise instead of creating pandemonium in the house. “The government is ready to discuss all issues. Let the BAC decide and we can discuss. I appeal to you with folded hands not to disturb the house,” Joshi said.
Home Minister Amit Shah had assured us in August that Dr Abdullah was not in detention, but 108 days later he is still not here. What is the reason? Our leader Rahul Gandhi was not allowed to visit the Valley, but European leaders were given permission. Kashmir is an internal issue, but this government has made it an international issue”,Adhir Ranjan Chowdhry said in parliament. (TIE)
