Congress top leader Rahul Gandhi Thursday alleged that the outsiders were brought in to manhandle opposition MPs in Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament.
Gandhi said this a day after Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu choked expressing his grief over disruptions in the upper house during the monsoon session of Parliament.
The Congress MP said, “For the first in the history of Rajya Sabha, outsiders were brought in to manhandle opposition MPs. It is the duty of the Chairman and Speaker to run the houses in Parliam“We are not allowed to raise the issues inside Parliament as the Prime Minister is selling the country,” he added.
The former Congress president also said not allowing the Opposition to raise issues in Parliament was the “murder of democracy”.
“We were not allowed to speak inside Parliament. This is nothing short of the murder of the democracy,” he said after holding a protest march with other opposition leaders here.
