Amid continued disruptions in both Houses, the Kerala MP said that Congress cannot be blamed for the logjam in Parliament insisting that the onus of ensuring its smooth functioning was "as much" on the government.
"In our country, we have a Parliamentary system and it is also the government's responsibility to ensure that it functions. You can't move forward by blaming opposition for everything," Tharoor told reporters on sidelines of a conference on 'Preserving and Protecting Freedom, Truth and Equal Access in Higher Education'.
Tharoor had yesterday said that the government needs to take the concerns of Opposition "very seriously" noting that there will be constructive response from them only if the government reached out to them in a "constructive way".
