Khalistani activities abroad, LPG prices raised in Zero Hour

“We need to take note of the threats by them and act accordingly… our diplomats were being threatened and billboards put up. We need to give a strong message to them through our Parliament that such activities are not acceptable to us and we will take every step to ensure the safety and security of every citizen of this country. We must bring such terrorists back to India and take strong action against them. We should act on this and take appropriate action,” she said.

In another submission during the Zero Hour, JD(U) member Ram Nath Thakur raised the demand for providing LPG gas cylinders at Rs 500 per cylinder across the country, as has been promised in Chhattisgarh.

He said a domestic LPG cylinder costs Rs 903 in Delhi and is differently priced in other towns. “My demand is that the government should provide the cylinder at Rs 500 per cylinder across the country.”

TMC member Samirul Islam said there is a need to initiate welfare programmes for migrant workers. He also raised the issue of the plight of country’s migrant workers. BJP’s Kailash Soni demanded that military training be made mandatory in secondary school and universities. TMC’s Prakash Chik Baraik highlighted that tea garden workers are facing a lot of problems in West Bengal due to non-linking of the Provident Fund with Aadhaar.
