Tamil Nadu CM applauds party MPs’ sterling performance

Chennai: The ruling BJP’s upper class fascist face and hate politics had been exposed by the denigration of B R Ambedkar, the father of the Indian Constitution, by none other than the Union Home Minister even as the 75th anniversary of the same Constitution was being celebrated, Chief Minister M K Stalin said. Applauding the sterling performance of his party MPs raising a plethora of issues concerning the State’s rights and people’s welfare in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha during the just concluded winter session, held from November 25 to December 19, Stalin, in a statement on Saturday said that the DMK had set an example for parties in other States. Though data provided by the Parliamentary Affairs Department had said that the winter session saw the Lok Sabha functioning constructively only for 54.5 percent and Rajya Sabha 40 per cent, DMK MPs had made the nation talk about the party’s stand on a wide range of issues because they did not fail to discharge their democratic duties even amidst the prevailing pandemonium. Stalin praised party members T R Baalu who tore into the proposal for a ‘One Nation, One Election’ legislation, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi for her fiery speeches demanding cancellation of license for tungsten mining in Madurai district and opposing the amendment to the Disaster Management Law, Trichi Siva was pointing out the Prime Minister was skipping Parliament and A Raja for his intellectually inspiring speech on the Constitutional nuances among others. The DMK members’ performance was a slap in the face of those who asked that the MP’s would do in Parliament when the party swept the Lok Sabha elections winning all the 40 seats, he said and listed out more than a score of key issues were raised like a demand for diversity in judiciary, condemning the High Court judge who made a communal speech, expedition of highway projects in the State, on the state of airports and so on.
