Ramesh said leaders expressed their regret at Mr. Leaders said another meeting of floor leaders of political parties in Rajya Sabha, convened by Chairman Venkaiah Naidu, was emotional. “No word has been barred from use in Parliament and the Lok Sabha Secretariat has been bringing out such a list of unparliamentary words since 1954,” Mr. Joshi said the Opposition is trying to belittle the image of Parliament.
He said the Prime Minister never attended all-party meetings before 2014 when the Congress was in power.Ĭommenting on the charge that protests are banned in Parliament and several words have been added to the list of unparliamentary words, Mr. Joshi said the opposition is trying to make issues out of non-issues as they do not have anything against the Government. Ramesh also said that the political parties pointed out the issue of the “killing” of Forest Rights Act. “Isn’t it (the absence) unparliamentary,” asked senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh. The Opposition questioned the absence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the meeting.
