Oppn was allowed to speak on farm bills: Javadekar

September 24, 2020 12:13

"The Opposition's politics has become directionless, when they had the chance to express their opinions on farm bills and other issues in the Parliament they walked out," said Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Thursday.

Javadekar added that the Opposition had 300 days to meet the President or protest elsewhere over the issues but they should not have boycotted the Parliament session.

"They are meeting the President, there are 300 more days for this. The Parliament session runs for 70-80 days, and we didn't stop anyone from speaking," Javadekar said.

The BJP leader further asserted that the behaviour of the Opposition leaders inside the Rajya Sabha was "shameful".

"Important Bills related to agriculture were moved and discussed on, the way the Opposition behaved was shameful for the house. They wanted division, the Deputy Chairman continuously asked them to return to their seats and assured them that he would give division then. Now they are complaining everywhere that it (division) did not happen. This is a matter of chori par seenazori," he said.
