BJP's Javadekar blames Cong for Parliament adjournment

December 16, 2011 18:22

Our Delhi correspondent writes in to say that the MP most upset by the Rajya Sabha adjournment today was the BJP's Prakash Javadekar, whose resolution on creation of a separate Telangana state was on top of the private members' business listed for the afternoon session.

Friday afternoons are for private members' resolutions and Bills and the Houses are not adjourned for their business even in the event of a pandemonium since protests are basically against the government and not against the members.

"It is betrayal by the Congress to the people of Telangana. Just to avoid the issue they have disturbed the House today. The BJP condemns the act," he said.
