New Delhi [India], August 6 : Lok Sabha MP from Daman and Diu, Patel Umeshbhai Babubhai, expressed disappointment over the repeated disruptions in Parliament, stating that the ongoing tussle between the ruling party and the opposition is hampering the House's functioning.
"It is unfortunate that the House is not functioning. It is sad that due to the fight between the ruling side and the opposition, this is happening. Due to this, I could not raise any important issues. Even today, the Lok Sabha functioned for 1.5 minutes. I demand that the government withhold MPs' salaries if Parliament fails to function. The public's hard-earned money is being misused."
