Can Rahul afford to heed Advani's advice?

August 06, 2014 15:13

During the high drama in Parliament this morning, senior BJP leader LK Advani had a word of advice for Rahul Gandhi as he led his MPs to the well of the house. Advani cautioned Rahul and told him to control his MPs.

The Congress vice president had earlier in the day stormed the Well in the Lok Sabha with his MPs, demanding a debate on communal tension, accusing the Modi government of not allowing discussion in Parliament where he said only one man's voice is heard.

"We are not being allowed to speak in Parliament. We are asking for discussion. There is a mentality in the government that discussion is not acceptable. Everybody feels it, their party feels it, we feel it, everybody feels it," he said.
