New Delhi, July 20 (UNI) As the opposition continues to disrupt proceedings of both the Houses in the ongoing Monsoon Session, the BJP on Wednesday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi saying that he is adamant about bringing down the productivity of Parliament.
Union minister Smriti Irani alleged that Rahul Gandhi’s political life has been dotted with shows of disrespect to parliamentary procedures and traditions. “He is now adamant to bring down the productivity of Parliament,” she said.
Irani pointed out that as Lok Sabha Member from Amethi between 2004 and 2019, Rahul never asked any questions in the House. “After the ‘abandoned’ the constituency (Amethi) and became the MP of Wayanad, his attendance was less than 40 per cent in the winter session in 2019. Today he has ensured disruption of Parliament,” she said.
Irani alleged Rahul has disrespected parliamentary traditions and is ensuring that house proceedings and debates do not take place.
