Mayawati demands Irani’s head, the one she offered day before
Rajasree Malpath, chief medical officer at the university health centre, had told The Telegraph yesterday that she had reached the hostel around 7.30pm, within minutes of receiving the alert. When the government attempted to move onto a discussion, Mayawati refused to let the house function and the BSP’s efforts – which the Congress and the Left eventually supported – meant the Rajya Sabha didn’t function all day.
CPI(M) leader Mohd Saleem said that he will bring privilege motion on Monday in the Lok Sabha.
Amid the din, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned five times in the pre-lunch session, and when the house met at 2 p.m., angry exchanges were witnessed between Mayawati and Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani.
“Are you with Afzal Guru, with the people who attacked Parliament or with democracy”, Thakur said in Parliament, going on to attack the Congress Vice President.
Bahujan Samaj Party spremo, Mayawati and the CPI-M General Secretary, Sitaram Yechury, on Friday stepped up their attack against the HRD minister for the same statement of her made in parliament two days ago. Slogans such as “Saas Bahu Sansad Me Chalana Band Karo” and “Smriti Irani Jhooth Ki Rani” were raised against her. “Smriti Irani is using cinematic and dramatic kind of expressions which can not transform falsehood into truth”. I challenge you to tell me my caste.
“Your Ministry had written that my son Rohith and other Dalit students were anti-national extremists”.
Barbs continue to fly as debate over Rohith Vemula’s suicide, JNU sedition case continues in Parliament. “Why has action not been taken against her”, she said a press conference. Her talk might function like a doc assisting them within the indoctrination procedure for decades that will select this flow of ideology for all those owned by this way of thinking.
Smriti was emotionally charged, but never lost her composure as she systematically exposed the opposition’s nefarious plans to make a mountain of a mole hill.
“In parliament Smriti Irani was taking name of chief warden who was a Dalit. I neglect to comprehend those alleged students’ depravity”, Irani said aiming towards the Congress seats that were vacant whilst a walkout was staged by the biggest celebration.
Kejriwal had assured the family he would consider their demand, an official statement said.
Irani, however, defended her action and said she read out the portion from a pamphlet as she was asked by some Elders to furnish proof to back her statement.
When the government appeared non-committal on including a Dalit member on the judicial committee, Mayawati said: “Had the prime minister (Narendra Modi) been here, he would have agreed to our demand”.
