NEW DELHI: The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Gulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday said that the Opposition will not allow the House to become a another Government Department.
Reacting sharply over the statement made by BJP lawmaker Bhupendra Yadav that when Lok Sabha was working normally, Mr Azad said that the Upper House is permanent.
“We don’t have any constraint. So you cannot force us to pass a Bill just because the other House passed it. We will not allow this House to become another Government department”, Mr Azad commented.
No one in the Treasury Bench has the guts to ask the Prime Minister to visit the House and respond to members. That is why you have an office in the parliament, Leader of Opposition said.
After that the entire Opposition walked out in protest. (AGENCIES)
