Don't be abrasive, Sushma Swaraj scolds Kamal Nath

August 13, 2013 16:51

The BJP took on the government today over allegations that it is not allowing Parliament to function with repeated disruptions. The government needs Parliament's seal of approval on the Food Security Ordinance, which will lapse if it is not passed in this Monsoon Session.

"We want the House to run. We want to cooperate." said Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj in an angry exchange with Kamal Nath, the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs. "Please mend your ways. Don't be abrasive. You lack politeness. More than what you say, how you say matters," she said in the Lok Sabha.

She was speaking after a spat between the minister and her party colleague, Murli Manohar Joshi. -- NDTV
