"BJP had clearly said that it wants Parliament to function. The Prime Minister appealed for the same and said government is ready for a debate on all issues. But there is difference between what Congress says and what it does. They dismissed the PM's request through their actions," BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain charged.
Congress MPs from Andhra Pradesh, who are against formation of Telangana, today raised slogans in Parliament to press for their demand.
"Our MPs were silent in the House. They even asked questions during the Question Hour amid the din. Congress MPs did not allow the House to run. The ruling party should first set its own house in order before it preaches to the opposition. The whole country was watching how Congress MPs trooped into the Well of the House," Hussain said.
In the Business Advisory Council meeting of the Lok Sabha today, BJP made it clear that it will not allow the government to pass any Bill when the House is not in order.
BJP also alleged Congress adamance was responsible for the washout of the whole of the winter session of Parliament in 2010 on the demand for a JPC on 2G spectrum issue.
