NEW DELHI: The third day of Parliament's winter session witnessed stormy scenes on Wednesday as the opposition Congress party raised the issue of withdrawal of SPG cover to senior party leaders and the Gandhi family members - a charge rejected by the government, which said there was nothing political in it. The Congress party earlier gave an adjournment motion notice in Lok Sabha over 'procurement of paddy across the nation'. Besides, Congress also called a meeting of its Lok Sabha members to discuss Parliament strategy. The meeting was presided by Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairman Sonia Gandhi.
Congress wants to corner the government on issues concerning the public, economic slowdown, farmers` distress and unemployment. The party does not want to deviate from other issues that it claims are being created by the ruling party as a part of their strategy. The party also wants to raise the issue of pollution and air quality in the National Capital Region (NCR). On Tuesday, Congress initiated a debate in the House on the issue of pollution and asked the government to do something more to control the menace.
Congress has been protesting against the government on all these issues since November 5. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will on Wednesday table papers in the Rajya Sabha related to Maharashtra, which has been waiting for its government formation ever since its October Assembly election. Besides, the Surrogacy Bill and Transgender Protection Bill will also come up for consideration.
