New Delhi: The Congress on Friday slammed Home Minister Amit Shah for not making statement in both Houses of Parliament over the December 13 security breach in Lok Sabha.
The Congress also slammed the BJP and government for dubbing the Parliament security breach as a small incident while the case has been registered under the stringent unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and also asked the BJP government to clear the role of BJP Mysuru MP Patap Simha’s role in the security breach.
“For the last two days the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have not functioned. On the security breach of Parliament on December 13, we have demanded for a statement by Shah in both Houses. However, on December 14 and today, INDIA bloc parties demanded that he must come to both Houses and give a detailed statement on the security breach,” Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters.
He said that the demand of the opposition MPs is not new as it has been the tradition that on every big incident or any big subject when the Parliament is in function then the concerned minister makes a statement in both the Houses of Parliament.
“But our Home Minister is having so much arrogance that he goes to a news channel and gives a detailed account of the security breach but he is not ready to say the same inside the House,” Ramesh said.
He said that the MPs of INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) bloc have in written asked in both Houses for a detailed statement from him (SHAH) in both the Houses and then the House should function.
