Voicing concerns over unprecedented scenes of protests and bulk suspensions in Parliament over the security breach incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi aid the events of December 13, which should have been unequivocally condemned across the aisle, was being given a ‘political spin’ by the combined Opposition, party sources said.
Addressing the BJP’s Parliamentary Party meeting in the national capital on Tuesday, the BJP, according to party sources, said the ongoing protests both inside and outside the Parliament were the Opposition’s way of venting out its frustrations after being routed in three of the five states that went to polls last month.
“Whatever happened in Parliament recently, those who believe in democracy will not accept such an act. This act should have been condemned. However, unfortunately, what I have been witnessing is that the Opposition is letting out its frustration of losing in the election and giving a political spin to the entire act,” PM Modi said at the last BJP’s Parliamentary Party meeting of this year.
The Parliamentary Party, which includes all its Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members, usually meets every week during sessions.
During his address to party MPs, PM Modi said the act of the Opposition of giving ‘muted and indirect support’ to the Parliament security breach is worrisome.
