PM: Parliament no place for drama

Cong hits back: Calls Modi biggest dramabaaz

- VIKAS PATHAK

BEGINNING THE WINTER Session of Parliament with an all-out attack on the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday accused it of using Parliament either as a “warm-up arena” for elections or “as an outlet to vent frustration after defeat”.

He said Parliament should be a place for “delivery”, not drama; neeti (policy), not naare (slogans).

His remarks drew angry responses from Opposition parties, with the Congress alleging that Modi was the “biggest dramabaaz” and that his statement was “nothing but hypocrisy”.
