Adhir Chowdhury Seeks GOI’s Stand On Abrogation Of 35A & 370 As They Assured End Of Terrorism In Kashmir

Mumbai: Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Friday joined a protest near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi inside the Parliament complex, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party government of snatching the rights of the opposition and the general public.

“Gandhi is the epitome of peace, non-violence, unity and harmony not only for our country but for the world. BJP is denying the right to perform at the feet of Gandhi’s statue. They are snatching the privilege and rights of not only the opposition but also the rights of the people,” alleged Chowdhury.

Opposition leaders have been staging a sit-in at the Gandhi statue inside the Parliament complex since the beginning of the winter session, demanding the withdrawal of the suspension of 12 Rajya Sabha members.

These leaders were suspended from the winter session of Parliament for allegedly creating a ruckus on the last day of the monsoon session.

The suspended MPs include six from Congress, two each from TMC and Shiv Sena and one each from CPM and CPI.

The suspended MPs are Elamaram Kareem (CPM), Phulo Devi Netam, Chhaya Verma, R Bora, Rajamani Patel, Syed Nasir Hussain and Akhilesh Prasad Singh of the Congress, Binoy Viswam of CPI, Dola Sen and Shanta Chhetri of Trinamool Congress, Priyanka Chaturvedi and Anil Desai of Shiv Sena.
