New Delhi: Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal Tuesday said
BJP's tactics of obstructing functioning of parliament over its
demands reeked of fascism and accused the opposition party of a
"diabolical design to subvert the system".
While the Congress has rejected the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP)
demand for resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Bansal
rejected its demand of cancellation of allotment of the coal
blocks.
He said the BJP was negating the parliamentary system with its
tactics to stall parliament over its demand for the prime
minister's resignation over the report on coal block allocation by
the Comptroller and Auditor General.
Bansal said the BJP was not prepared for discussion under any
rules and was feeling free in its "self-proclaimed majesty of
self-isolation".
He said the BJP concedes that the government has a majority in the
house but wants its view to prevail.
"This is nothing short of fascism... it reminds you of fascism,"
Bansal said.
He said the opposition party had no faith in parliamentary
devices.
On the coal blocks allotment, he said: "I can say it in my
personal capacity that there is no question of cancelling the
allotments as nothing wrong has been done."
Bansal's attack on BJP came on a day Congress party president
Sonia Gandhi also lambasted the party for stalling proceedings of
the house since last week.
