Prime Minister Narendra Modi
will reply to the discussion on motion of thanks to president address to the
joint sitting of the Parliament in the Lok Sabha today. The House concluded
discussion last night.
The motion was moved by Tourism Minister Dr Mahesh Sharma. Initiating the
discussion, Dr Sharma hit out at the opposition saying that politics should not
be played with religion and security forces. He also criticised the opposition
for seeking proof about the surgical strikes carried out by the Army last year
across the LoC.
Dr Sharma highlighted the achievements of the government and said it is
committed to provide good, transparent and corruption free governance. He said
schemes launched by the Centre are focusing towards poor, farmer and deprived
sections of the society. Launching a scathing attack on the opposition for
not
supporting the Prime minister on demonetisation issue, the Minister said they
should have shown magnanimity by hailing the move. Dr Sharma termed the
demonetisation move as historic as it aims at curbing corruption,black money,
terror funding, and putting a check on counterfeit currency.
Participating in the debate, Mallikarjun Kharge of Congress tried to
corner the government on issue of demonetisation. He accused the government of
implementing it without any concrete planning resulting in hardship to the
common man. He also sought to know from the government how much black money has
been unearthed post- demonetisation. He also said, the government’s move
towards leading the country on digital transaction is not practical as all
people are neither educated nor have smartphones. Members of various political
party also participated in the discussion.
