Yechury targets PM ‘silence’ on crucial issues

“He was present in the country during the entire session….We are very happy for that. But despite being available,he did not participate in any of the important discussions like the ones on price rise,situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the Bhopal gas tragedy despite our request. We hoped he would say something. His only intervention came on the nuclear liability Bill which clearly tells what are the priorities of this government,” Yechury said.

He said the “people’s issues” as a whole found a “lesser priority” in the Monsoon Session. “We wanted discussions on implementation of various initiatives under the Bharat Nirman programme,internal security and the increasing number of rail accidents. Unfortunately,that did not happen. The session was extended,but for passage of the liability Bill,” he added.
