In a response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's accusation that he was not being allowed to speak in the House, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said, "Modiji people are tired of monologues. I urge you to honestly face the Parliament & answer our questions," in a tweet.
 
Earlier in the day, the PM addressed a massive gathering of around 200,000 people in Gujarat and assured them that the situation  due to demonetisation would start improving after the first 50-days. "Parliament is not being allowed to function, happenings in Parliament anguished our President, who has tremendous political experience," he added, referring to the recent remarks by President Pranab Mukherjee. 
 
 
He went on to add that as he was not allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha, he was speaking at a Jan Sabha. "The government has always said we are ready to debate. I am not being allowed to speak in Lok Sabha so I am speaking in the Jan Sabha," the PM said.
 
In the ongoing winter session, the parliament has been rocked by opposition protests on the issue of demonetisation. The opposition has demanded the presence of Prime Minister Modi during the debate.
