Sonia brushed aside Prime Minister Parliament disruption remark

Let him say what he wants,” the Congress chief was quoted on PM Modi  Said that repeated disruption of both houses of Parliament by Opposition was a “matter of sorrow”  said on Thursday and that besides the GST Bill, many “pro-poor steps are stuck in Parliament” in what appeared to be his sharpest attack on the Congress since the winter session began two weeks ago. The principal opposition party has been protesting after a Delhi court asked Sonia and her son Rahul to appear before it on December 19 over BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s lawsuit accusing them of financial wrongdoing in taking control of the defunct National Herald newspaper. You must have seen that these days that disruption is happening regularly. Meri marji . I will do whatever comes to my mind. Does the country run like this? Democracy does not function with ‘Mantantra’. The country does not run on its basis. Whatever you may think but the system does not run like this,” Modi had said.  The government’s efforts to push key reforms, especially the goods and services tax bill, this winter session has been stalled by the repeated adjournments of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday brushed aside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dig at the opposition’s continuous disruption of the Parliament that “democracy cannot function at the whims and fancies of anyone” by saying he can say whatever he wants to. Congress MPs have paralysed both Houses with noisy protests, alleging politics of vengeance by the BJP-led government over the National Herald case.
