Recently, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said about the opposition party that we hope the Congress should be to not disrupt the Parliament in this year. In return, the Congress took a dig at the NDA saying our party did not disrupt Parliament and the BJP’s “stubborn attitude” was behind the deadlock over the GST Bill.
Ex. Finance Minister, P Chidambaram said on Friday, “What did the Prime Minister say … we will come back to you after reflecting within the government. That’s almost a month now. We have not received the written response of the government or the revised formulation of the government on the three principal objections.”
He Further added, “It is the government’s stubborn and unbending attitude. How did Parliament pass so many bills if we were disrupting all the work?”
