CAG on CWG: BJP demands suspension of Question Hour,Parliament disrupted

Opposition members raised slogans ‘Ab toh yeh spasht hai,Sheila Dikshit bhrasht hai (Now it is clear,Sheila Dikshit is corrupt) in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

Amid the din,SP members rushed to the well in the Lok Sabha and raised the issue of fake encounters in Uttar Pradesh.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister P K Bansal was heard saying if this was the stand of the Opposition,the House should be adjourned for the day.

In Rajya Sabha,Opposition BJP members began shouting slogans even before Chairman Hamid Ansari took his seat.

As Ansari took up the questions listed for the day,BJP members started moving towards the well shouting slogans against Dikshit.

To counter the Opposition attack,some ruling party members stood up holding posters alleging cost overrun and overpayment for projects in BJP-ruled Gujarat.

Ansari asked members not to show banners. “What are you doing? No banners please,” he said.

Barely minutes after both Houses met for the day,they were adjourned till noon. Lok Sabha was further adjourned till 2 pm.

The BJP,at its Parliamentary Party meeting,had decided to demand suspension of the Question Hour to facilitate discussion on Commonwealth Games ‘scam’ and the Privilege Motion against Sports Minister Ajay Maken.

Contending that Maken had misled the nation by his statement in Parliament on CWG appointments,BJP insisted they will not spare the government on this issue.

“We will not only discuss the statement,we will also discuss the Shunglu Committee reports,the functioning of the CWG Organising Committee and observations of the CAG,” Ahluwalia said,

“We are not going to spare the government on this issue,” S S Ahluwalia said.
