Running away from discussion on price rise, GST hike unparliamentary: Rahul

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday attacked the government over the issues of price rise, hike in GST rates and depreciating value of Rupee and alleged that it is “unparliamentary” on the part of the prime minister to not answer questions and run away from a discussion in Parliament.

He also alleged that no matter how much the prime minister tries to silence the opposition by declaring many words as “unparliamentary”, he will have to answer on these issues. The senior Congress leader was Gandhi referring to a recent booklet brought by Lok Sabha Secretariat listing out certain words as unparliamentary for use in Parliament.

The government, however, has said the practice of listing unparliamentary words has been done 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.
