Opposition may push govt to adopt resolution condemning minister's hate remarks

December 04, 2014 18:43

The opposition has extended an olive branch to the BJP after the continued ruckus in Parliament over the last three days despite the PM's statement today.

PM Narendra Modi today told Parliament that he has "criticised in the strongest terms" the language used by union minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti in an election speech in Delhi.

He urged that the house should function since the minister has apologised.

The opposition however demanded that the minister be sacked for her hate speech and a united opposition walked out just before lunch, alleging that their mics had been switched off.

The opposition has however offered a compromise -- adopt a resolution condemning the ministers hate remarks without naming her.

If the house agrees, the Parliament can finally get on with it's work after four days.
