Congress leader P Chidambaram said on Tuesday that India is a unique parliamentary democracy where no questions are asked and no debate is held. Chidambaram made this remark after not letting the party speak in the Lok Sabha on the issue of deadlock in Ladakh.


Angry over Congress members not being allowed to speak after Defense Minister Rajnath Singh's statement on the ongoing deadlock on the border with China in East Ladakh, Congress members staged a Lok Sabha walkout and gathered in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue in the Parliament House complex Through protests.

Chidambaram tweeted, "Today India is such a unique parliamentary democracy where no questions can be asked and where debate is not allowed."

He also attacked the central government's statement that the number of migrants who lost their lives during the lockdown was not available. The senior leader said in a series of tweets, "Today India is such a unique country where there is no data on the death of migrants traveling long distances to their homes or their deaths after reaching home." The government also targeted the government for its economic condition.
