The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has firmed up its agenda for Parliament this week. Besides the Bihar transfer controversy, the Opposition will take up the India-US deal on nuclear cooperation.
Former PM A.B. Vajpayee will open the attack, with his criticism of the N-bargain when the issue comes up for debate.
The NDA will also “forcefully demand” that the Nanavati Commission Report and the entire Phukan Commission Report be tabled in the House along with the action taken reports, BJP leader V.K. Malhotra said.
Besides, the Opposition has decided to highlight the “rampant misuse of official machinery” by the Marxist West Bengal government to prevent free and fair elections in the state.
Accusing the Left Front government in the state of tampering with the electoral rolls, Malhotra alleged that a large number of names that figured in the voter’s list were of both Bangladesh and West Bengal. The voter’s list will be the focus of BJP’s larger campaign against infiltration from Bangladesh, he said.
