Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday said that the parliamentary proceedings are unlikely to take place until Home Minister Amit Shah attends both houses and answer the queries. He further said that the Home Minister should come and answer the questions by the opposition and then only the parliament will be able to function.
“The smooth functioning of Parliament hinges on the Home Minister’s arrival and statement in both Houses. With only 4 days remaining in the winter session, Congress President and Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun have conveyed this crucial demand to the Speaker of the Rajya Sabha, reaching out to all floor leaders of the INDIA Alliance. The Home Minister must address the House, fielding questions that require his response. Only after this can the House proceed with its deliberations,” said Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.
