Dubbing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in Parliament as "theatrical", CPI(M) leader Mohd Salim today said that it lacked "substance".
He also expressed disappointment over the first half of the Budget Session and held the government responsible for curtailment of the crucial session.
"He only talked about history. He never addressed the problems faced by the people. It was theatrical, but had no substance. It was the same old speech accusing others", Salim told reporters here.
"Hardly any issue was discussed. The voice of the opposition was not heard. We could see that not even their allies were allowed to speak. It is very unfortunate," he said.
The Left leader also felt that the allies of the BJP had taken the space of the opposition and it should resolve the issues raised by members of the NDA.
