Trinamool Congress MPs protest over black money issue

Stepping up attack on the government on the black money issue, Trinamool Congress MPs on Tuesday blocked the main entrance of Parliament and threatened to derail House proceedings over the matter.

The MPs, who had boycotted an all-party meeting called by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu, shouted anti-government slogans.

Majority of TMC MPs including Dinesh Trivedi and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar were at the gate shouting "Modi tanashai nahin chalegi" (Dicatorship will not be tolerated), "kala dhan wapas lao" (bring back black money) among others.

They said they will raise the black money issue on the floor of Parliament and seek the support of like-minded parties on this issue.

"BJP had promised that it would bring back black money after coming to power. It made a false promise," they said.
