Modi Govt keen to cut short Monsoon Session: TMC leader Derek O'Brien

TMC leader Derek O'Brien on Thursday said the Modi Government is running away from Parliament, as it is looking to cut short the ongoing Monsoon Session.

"The talk on Parliament Street is that the government is keen to cut short the Monsoon Session and end it on August 8, instead of August 12. Bad," Mr. O'Brien tweeted. 

"Why is Narendra Modi Government running away from Parliament?," asked the leader of TMC in the Rajya Sabha.

Last year, the government curtailed all three sessions due to various reasons, including the COVID pandemic. This year also, the first session — Budget Session — was curtailed.
