Govt has no desire to issue ordinances: Venkaiah

February 01, 2015

Faced with criticism over the government issuing several ordinances, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said the government has "no fancy for issuing ordinances" and that the Opposition should allow the Parliament to function properly.

"Nobody has got a fancy for issuing ordinances. We don't want to issue ordinances. But a violent minority cannot obstruct a silent majority from taking the country's development forward," the parliamentary aAffairs minister said.

Noting that it is the right of the opposition parties to oppose the government, he said they can resort to democratic methods, like walkout to register their protest.
