Govt hits back at Opposition for Par adjournments

August 09, 2011 14:12

The government has hit back at the Opposition accusing it of going back on its word and stalling the Question Hour in Parliament over the Commonwealth Games mess.

"It is indeed very unfortunate that despite an agreement yesterday that the House would run today, the Question Hour will be taken up and after that the calling attention motion on Sports Minister Ajay Maken's statement would be taken up, the Opposition has disrupted Parliament," Parliamentary Affairs Minister P K Bansal said.

Bansal said the sudden change in the stand of the BJP raised doubts on part of the genuineness of the Opposition on the need to have a discussion on the Commonwealth Games issue.
