One more day passed again with barely 15 minutes of work in the Parliament, as slogan shouting by the opposition BJP and the UNPA members over the constitution of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to review the nuke deal led to the adjournment of both the Houses.
New Delhi, Sept 7 : One more day passed again with barely 15 minutes of work in the Parliament, as slogan shouting by the opposition BJP and the UNPA members over the constitution of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to review the nuke deal led to the adjournment of both the Houses.
The BJP has made it clear that unless the UPA Government accede to their demand of setting a JPC to review the Indo-Us nuclear deal, they would continue stalling the Parliament.
"Our demands remain intact," said senior BJP leader Vijay Kumar Malhotra.
The BJP is demanding scrapping of the 15-member UPA-Left panel, which has been constituted to look into the Left parties concern over the bilateral nuclear deal, and has demanded holding debate on the nuclear deal under those sections that entail voting in the Parliament, apart from setting up of a JPC to review the deal.
Friday was no different from the last two days when the BJP did not allow any Parliamentary business to take place.
"It's a war of nerves,'' senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said in her reply to a question that how long it would go when the UPA Government has already categorically rejected BJP's demand for constituting a JPC.
The UPA Government has contended that Constitution does not provide any law that entails setting up a JPC to review an agreement with a foreign country.
''We do not consider it to be categorical," Swaraj said, asserting that their demand will be finally met.
As stalling of the Parliament has become an everyday phenomenon, speculations of the current Monsoon session being cut short have gained strength.
When the Parliament convened today for the Question Hour, the BJP members along with the Third Front, UNPA, were on their feet, leading to the House being adjourned till 12 noon.
Lok Sabha speaker, Somnath Chatterjee's continuous request to the slogan-shouting members failed to bear result. When the House reconvened at 1430 IST the situation remained same, leading to the adjournment for the day.
