Earlier today, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi, taking note of the chaos in the Lok Sabha, said, "There are so many people-related issues that need to be discussed." The government doesn't want to pass the Bills without discussions, he said, adding that "We are ready for discussion but they are not allowing it."
"More than 315 members want the Question Hour. Despite that, behaving like this, it's more unfortunate. IT Minister has given detailed statement in both the Houses. This is totally non-serious issue. Kindly allow the house to function", Joshi added.
