The opposition’s demand for discussion on issues such as Manipur and price rise during the Monsoon Session is “non-negotiable”, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said , asserting that the government must shun its “my way or the highway” approach and follow a middle path for smooth functioning of Parliament.
The Congress general secretary in-charge communications also said his party will oppose the bill that would be brought in to replace the Delhi ordinance, which he alleged “curtails constitutional rights and responsibilities of the elected government”.
In an interview with PTI, Ramesh said opposition parties are going into the Monsoon Session, starting Thursday, with a positive mindset but asserted that the primary responsibility of getting Parliament to function is that of the government of the day. The session is scheduled to end on August 11.
