Accusing opposition parties of “running away” from a debate on the demonetisation issue in Parliament, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said it only showed they are not serious in the fight against corruption.
Key BJP ally Shiv Sena also escalated its broadside against the BJP with party chief Uddhav Thackeray saying the senior ally should stop branding people as patriots or anti- nationals as per its “whims and fancies” while responding to criticism of the cash clean-up drive.
As the government and Opposition were locked in a face-off in the Parliament over the demonetisation issue for the fourth straight day, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at Modi, saying that if he can speak on TV and pop concerts then why not in the Parliament.
