Take note of Advani's concern over Parliament washout: Sena to BJP

December 17, 2016 14:39

Needling BJP over the washed out winter session of Parliament, ally Shiv Sena asked the ruling partner to take cognisance of its party patriarch L K Advani's "tears" and called for a special session to discuss the demonetisation issue.

Terming Advani as the 'Bhishma Pitamah' of Indian politics, the Sena said he has raised a question mark over parliamentary democracy in the country.

"It should be noted that Advani is not a Congress leader. One must bear in mind that he has been at the forefront of the anti-Congress politics," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.

The Sena remarks come after Advani, for the second time during the Winter Session of Parliament, expressed anguish and concern over the way the session was a washout with daily adjournments.

He reportedly even told a few MPs that he felt like resigning from Lok Sabha owing to his distress at the proceedings, adding that "Atalji (former PM Vajpayee) would have been very upset seeing this".
