ArticleComments Washout of Parliament triggered off by Congress: LK Advani

New Delhi:  The Winter Session of Parliament ended on Monday with the rift between the Government and the Opposition growing wider than ever. Today, senior Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader LK Advani led the charge as the NDA took its demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe to the people.

Advani targeted the Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi for the Government's refusal to set up a JPC to investigate the 2G spectrum scam.

 Addressing the media in New Delhi, Advani said, "They created an earthquake in Indian politics. 2G scam- so many lobbyists talking to so many people. Looks like the UPA government was not made by the Prime Minister as he doesn't even know about many things...  portfolios are decided by others."

Advani added that even though the Opposition and the UPA-II allies were united on the demand for JPC, the Congress party did not budge causing the entire session's wastage.

The BJP leader also added that the extent to which corruption has plagued the UPA government is worrying. "Today, Congress party is ruling the country in alliance with Karunanidhi's DMK, tomorrow it can be any other party but the issue of corruption needs to be highlighted and justice should prevail," he said.

"We decided today that if we don't get justice in Parliament, then we will go to the streets. We will go to the people. If you don't constitute JPC, then we don't want to discuss anything else," Advani told the media clarifying why they did not let the JPC heat die down in Parliament.

The party has planned to hold a massive rally against corruption across the country December 22.
