Opposition protest on Nov 28 |
Opposition parties have called for a countrywide protest on November 28 against the cash crunch faced by the public. Earlier, Opposition party MPs gathered at Mahatma Gandhi’s statue outside Parliament and marched together after linking their arms to form a human chain. Day five of the Lok Sabha was again a washout with the Opposition refusing to let the House function. The demand for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the debate over demonetisation still remains high on Opposition agenda. Calling demonetisation the country’s biggest impromptu financial experiment, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said his party wants the debate to be conducted under adjournment motion, which effectively suspends House business. Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu countered the charge saying that it was instead the Opposition who was not allowing discussion in the House. BSP supremo Mayawati urged President Pranab Mukherjee to summon PM Modi and ask him to resolve the problems faced by public. She also questioned the continued absence of PM Modi from Parliament.
