Onus On Government To Run Parl Smoothly: Oppn

As the blame game continues over disruptions in Parliament, the Opposition on Thursday tried to turn the table on BJP by quoting late saffron leaders Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj to make their point that it is the responsibility of the government to ensure smooth functioning of the House.

The monsoon session has so far seen a united Opposition taking on the treasury benches over Pegasus spyware, leading to disruptions in both Houses. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the conduct of the Opposition is an insult to the Constitution, democracy, and the people.

The Opposition leaders are now targeting the BJP government, quoting what former Union ministers Jaitley and Swaraj had said on the floor during UPA II, when their party was in the Opposition.
