Opposition will keep fighting to raise people’s issues including Pegasus matter: Congress

The Hindu  

The government is trying to “muzzle” the Opposition’s voice, but it will not be cowed down and will keep fighting to raise people’s issues, including farmers’ problems and the Pegasus snooping matter, the Congress said on Thursday. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said that Parliament proceedings are being disrupted over the Pegasus issue as the government is shying away from a discussion on it. Mr. Kharge said that the government is saying the Opposition does not want to speak on farmers’ problems and inflation, among other issues, but when 10 Bills are passed in one hour “you know well of their intentions”. They want to crush the Pegasus issue and wrap up the session.” Congress member Pratap Singh Bajwa said farmers are sitting on the borders of Delhi and “over 500” have died in the cause, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said nothing about these “martyrs”.
