May 4th, 2010 - 5:58 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, May 4 (IANS) The opposition Tuesday threatened to stall the proceedings of the Lok Sabha till Trinamool Congress member Sudip Bandyopadhyay tendered his apology for using unparliamentary language against veteran Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) MP Basudeb Acharia.
“The Trinamool MP must tender an apology in the house. Otherwise, the opposition will not allow the house to function,” said Gopinath Munde, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) deputy leader in the Lok Sabha.
There was an unruly scene in the Lok Sabha during zero hour, after Bandyopadhyay used unparliamentary language against Acharia when the house was discussing the Mumbai suburban railway drivers’ strike.
Munde also said the government should make a statement on the railway drivers strike in the house Tuesday itself.
