New Delhi: A day after Lok Sabha witnessed an action-packed participation of several lawmakers in the calling attention motion on alleged alteration of the affidavit relating to Ishrat Jahan case, the matter again resurfaced in the Lower House on Friday when the Congress, alleging “gross injustice” for being disallowed to put across their views, sought permission from Speaker Sumitra Mahajan to allow at least one of its MPs to put across the party’s point of view on the matter. The request of the main Opposition party was however, disallowed by the Speaker.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said for want of the Opposition’s participation, the discussion was “biased” and saw “baseless” allegations against the erstwhile UPA government and its leadership and projected a “one-sided story”. Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy later dismissed the Congress charge.
