Actor Prakash Raj Takes Jibe at Modi Government For Delaying Winter Session - JPKee.com

New Delhi, Nov 25: Actor Prakash Raj on Saturday took a jibe at the centre over delaying winter session of the Parliament. Raj, known for humorous remarks, took to Twitter to ask his followers about possible reasons for delaying the winter session by more than two weeks. Raj said, ”To whomsoever, it may concern, Why is not winter session happening.”

In a veiled attack, he said it might be embarrassing for the government to answer many questions raised by the opposition. Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has been consistently grilling the centre over Rafale deal. Raj wrote, “it’s not that cold yet or Are you busy somewhere else or it may get too hot… and embarrassing to answer before elections. #justasking”

Opposition raises questions on delaying winter session

Rahul Gandhi on Saturday criticised the government over delaying the winter session. The Gandhi scion said, “Generally, every year Parliament session is held in November and the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha sit for one month to discuss issues. But, this year the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha will convene after Gujarat elections.”

Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs on Friday recommended that the winter session of Parliament be held from December 15 to January 5, with 14 sittings of both Houses during the 21-day session. The Congress has been targeting the government for deferring the winters session for the sake of Gujarat Assembly elections.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Monday had also launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Modi over the winter session.

Addressing the Congress Working Committee meeting, Gandhi said, “Modi government in arrogance has cast dark shadow on India’s Parliamentary democracy by sabotaging Winter Session on flimsy grounds. The government is mistaken if it thinks by locking temple of democracy; it’ll escape constitutional accountability ahead of elections.”
