Members of Parliament belonging to the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Monday exposed the chinks in the United Progressive Alliance’s armour by getting question hour suspended in the Rajya Sabha with their demand to bring the Coalgate scam into focus.
As many as six Union ministers who were present in the Rajya Sabha did not go to the rescue of Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath who was seen fighting a lone battle.
The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, interestingly, did not extend support to the AIADMK MPs when they raised the coal scam. Even when Dr V Maitreyan stood up to demand that the law minister be brought to the bar of the House, the BJP members remained silent.
A careful reading of the opening day of the Parliament session gives the impression that the
Second part of Budget session begins on a stormy note
