On the last day of Parliament’s Budget session in the national capital opposition MPs staged a ‘Tiranga March’ from Parliament to Vijay Chowk.
Congress leader KC Venugopal, who took part in the march, stated, “The government is not allowing Parliament to function. Why don’t they want to talk about the Adani scam?” Since the start of the Budget Session, both houses of Parliament have been adjourned several times.
The march began after the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die in response to a protest by opposition parties demanding a Joint Parliamentary Investigation into the Adani stocks, among other things. The BJP has demanded that Rahul Gandhi apologise for his remarks in London.
The Tiranga March started at Parliament and will conclude at Vijay Chowk.
Following the march, the parties plan to hold a press conference at the Constitution Club. Meanwhile, three political parties, including the Congress, are reportedly skipping the Lok Sabha Speaker’s ‘Evening Tea’ meeting today.
The decision for the ‘tricolour march’ was made at a meeting on Wednesday morning in the Parliament building, which was attended by the leaders of like-minded opposition parties and chaired by Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge.
