CPI blames BJP for ‘scuttling’ session

NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India on Tuesday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party for holding up the monsoon session of Parliament over its demand for setting up a joint parliamentary committee on the India-U.S. civilian nuclear deal.

The party demanded that the Constitution be amended to incorporate the provision of “Right to recall” an MP and that punitive action be taken against members who indulged in hooliganism in the House.

Addressing a press conference here, Gurudas Dasgupta, Sudhakar Reddy and D. Raja, MPs, also deplored the government action “scuttling” the session by four days, surrendering to BJP “blackmail.”
