New Delhi: It’s a protest vs a protest. Both the BJP and the Congress have decided to go on a fast accusing each other of dragging politics and parliamentary proceedings to a new a low.
Moments after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a fast by BJP MPs on April 12 to protest the impasse “caused” by Opposition in Parliament, the Congress asked its functionaries to hold a day-long fast at all state and district headquarters on April 9 to expose the BJP’s “lies” on various issues.
Union ministers blamed the Congress for disrupting proceedings in both the Houses on a day when the washed out second leg of the Budget Session came to an end. Both Houses were adjourned sine die, capping a month of relentless disruptions and stated to be the least productive since 2000.0.
