Opposition parties take out ‘Tiranga March’ from Parliament

Opposition MPs on Thursday took out a ‘Tiranga March’ from Parliament to Vijay Chowk on the last day of the Budget session of Parliament in the national capital. Congress leader KC Venugopal who participated in the march said, “The government itself is not letting the Parliament run. Why do they not want to discuss the Adani scam?” Proceedings of both houses of Parliament have witnessed repeated adjournments since the beginning of the Budget Session. The march started after Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die following a protest by Oppossiton parties, who have been demanding a Joint Parliamentary Probe into the Adani stocks among other issues. The BJP has been demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi for his remarks in London. The Tiranga March began at the Parliament and will end at Vijay Chowk. The parties will also hold a press conference in the Constitution Club after the march, they said. Meanwhile, according to sources three political parties including the Congress will skip the ‘Evening Tea’ meeting to be hosted by the Lok Sabha Speaker today. The decision for the ‘tricolour march’ came in the meeting on Wednesday morning which was attended by the leaders of like-minded opposition parties chaired by Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge’s chamber in the Parliament building.
