I request all these political parties not to do so. Since I have not got an opportunity to speak in Lok Sabha, I am taking the opportunity to air my views in ‘Jan Sabha’. People have sent us to Parliament to debate, discuss and decide,” he said. The Prime Minister’s attack on Congress on the issue of Parliament disruptions come after key government bills including the GST were held up due to a stalemate with the opposition party.
