Union Minister Rajnath Singh spoke by phone with prominent opposition leaders about the disturbances in Parliament caused by their demands linked to the situation in Manipur, and urged them to guarantee the smooth operation of Parliament.
According to BJP sources, the administration has phoned Rajya Sabha Leader Mallikarjun Kharge and Trinamool Congress leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay to end the stalemate in Parliament. According to them, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and Minister of State Arjun Ram Meghwal have been reaching out to opposition leaders in order to ensure the smooth operation of parliament.
“We are ready for discussion in Parliament. Manipur incident is most definitely a very serious matter and sensing the gravity of the situation, the PM himself has said that what happened in the state (viral video on Wednesday purportedly showing two women being paraded in the nude) has put the entire nation to shame,” he said.
