New Delhi: After raising demand for discussion in Parliament regarding rising fuel prices and three farm laws, Congress' Rajya Sabha MP Syed Naseer Hussain asserted over the need to have a debate over the issues in the Parliament session, saying that the farmers should feel satisfied that their grievances have been heard.
While speaking to ETV Bharat, Naseer Hussain said, "From the last 2 days, we have been asking for a discussion over fuel hike. Today we said that farmers are sitting at the borders of Delhi, for 104 days, demanding this Government to scrap these three black laws. But this Government doesn't want to discuss anything on this. Why?"
He further added, "Parliament is an open forum to discuss. Let the Parliamentarians discuss this issue and then the country will decide what needs to be done. Fine, you've majority in Lok Sabha so you want to bulldoze these laws but then people of this country are more important. We want to discuss these issues so that the farmers can go back to their places, feeling satisfied that their grievances have been heard."
On Wednesday, Rajya Sabha got adjourned twice amid the uproar by Congress and other opposition parties demanding a discussion over the ongoing farmers protest against the three farm laws.
Congress had also convened a meeting of its Rajya Sabha MPs, under the chairmanship of Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge to prepare a strategy over these issues. This was the first meeting ever since Mallikarjun Kharge became the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.
