The Parliamentary Affairs Ministry said, “The Opposition questions over Bills being passed in din. However, it is their refusal to allow debate that has left no choice. From merely shouting, they have shifted to violence and manhandling staff to disrupt parliamentary process.” It highlighted as how then Law Minister Kapil Sibal had apologised for passing a Constitution Amendment Bill in haste in RS. — TNS
