Take Resolution to Allow Parliament to Function: PM to Congress
“It is their responsibility not to let their political compulsions come in the way of development of the country”.
Sharma also alleged that there has been no tangible change from Prime Minister Modi’s diplomatic efforts.
But on Thursday, he went on the offensive, urging Congress to demonstrate “responsibility towards the people”, who elected them as lawmakers in the world’s largest democracy. Those who have been rejected by people seized its functioning.
Over 50 people have lost their lives in four months of violent protests after the adoption of a new constitution by the Himalayan republic with agitating Madhesi political parties and ethnic groups of the Nepal Terai demanding amendments in the statute that they deem discriminatory and ignoring their rights.
“They do not allow Parliament to run”.
The Prime Minister’s attack on Congress on the issue of Parliament disruptions come after key government bills including the GST were held up due to a stalemate with the opposition party.
The Congress leader further said that there is a great agriculture distress in the country and the government has not initiated any effective step in this regard. Ministers Arun Jaitley, Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj and Nitin Gadkari were also present at the interaction. According to the Nepalese premier’s press advisor Pramod Dahal, during the 20-minute conversation, Modi invited Oli to visit India. “We are doing badly in every sector”, he said.
He added that his government was working on inter-linking of rivers, which will help farmers during drought situation and benefit sugar cane farmers in western UP as well. “We are working for your empowerment”, he said inaugurating a national conference of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe entrepreneurs.
