Running Away From Discussion On Price Rise, GST Hike Unparliamentary: Rahul
Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday criticised the central government over price rise, hike in GST and depreciating value of the rupee.
He also alleged that no matter how much the Prime Minister tries to silence the opposition by declaring several words “unparliamentary”, he will have to answer on these issues.
The senior Congress leader was referring to a pamphlet brought by the Lok Sabha Secretariat recently, listing certain words as unparliamentary for use in Parliament.
However, the government has stated that the practice of listing unparliamentary words has been going on since 1954.
“The Rupee crossed Rs 80. The gas cylinder man is asking for Rs 1,000. There are 1.3 crore unemployed people in June. Now GST burden on food grains too. No one can stop us from raising public issues, the government will have to answer,” Gandhi tweeted.
“Running away from discussion and questions in Parliament is most ‘unparliamentary’, Prime Minister ji,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.

The Congress protested in Parliament and raised the issue in both houses of Parliament, forcing adjournment till lunch.
Congress MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, earlier staged a protest over these issues outside Mahatma Gandhi’s statue in Parliament complex, where some opposition MPs also joined them.
