NDA MPs not to take salary and allowances for 23 days of second phase of budget session of Parliament

Members of Parliament of BJP and NDA allies have decided not to take salary and allowances for 23 days of the second phase of the budget session of Parliament. This was announced by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar in New Delhi yesterday evening. 

Mr Kumar told reporters that the decision



has been taken in protest against the Congress and the Opposition's negative politics of stalling proceedings of both the Houses. He said, the party stopped important bills from being passed, which led to, what he termed, a criminal wastage of the taxpayer's money. The session is scheduled to end tomorrow.
