New Delhi:Ā Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh surprised all today, as he met the MPs protesting outside Parliament against the farming bills and served them tea.
However, the protesting parliamentarians rejected his tea offer and said they will continue their protest. Harivansh Narayan Singh has said he would observe a daylong fast against the ‘unruly behaviour’ with him in the House by Opposition MPs.
My fast may perhaps inspire ‘self-purification’ in those who behaved insultingly towards me,’ he said.
The sit-in protest by eight suspended MPs at Parliament premises on Monday continued past midnight and received the support of a large number of opposition leaders.
The eight opposition MPs include Derek O’Brien, Sanjay Singh, Rajiv Satav, K K Ragesh, Syed Nazij Hussain, Dola Sen, Nipun Bora and Elamaran Karim.
