Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday slammed Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi for running away from discussion in the Lok Sabha, saying that they should not treat the Parliament as their “personal drawing room”.

Pradhan said, “There are specific rules and regulations governing the functioning of parliament, and it cannot be run on anyone’s whim.” 

Rahul Gandhi Claimed He Was Not Allowed To Speak

His remark came after the House was adjourned on the first day of the monsoon session until 2 pm, following Rahul Gandhi’s allegations that the opposition was not allowed to speak. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also said that the government should allow Rahul Gandhi to speak.

The Union Minister said, “We want to run the House. This is not the personal drawing room of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. Everyone will have to stay within the rules.

“They are themselves running away from the discussion, because they are more interested in supporting Pakistan. They are more interested in helping the opposition forces of India. That is why they do not want to speak in the Parliament responsibly. They can hold discussions on any topic; it will be answered.”
