<b>UPA "afraid" of convening monsoon session: BJP</b>
Bhopal (PTI): BJP on Sunday said the Congress-led UPA government is "afraid" of convening the monsoon session of Parliament as it is not prepared to discuss important issues in the House.
"It is for the first time in the history of Parliament that monsoon session, which normally commences by July end, is yet to start. It seems the government is afraid of facing the opposition after it has won the confidence vote by using unfair means," BJP vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu said in a press conference here today.
"The inflation rate is above 12 per cent and it seems the government is unable to control it. Farmers are also facing a lot of problems and are forced to commit suicide," he said.
"There is a spurt in terrorist activities," he said referring to serial blasts in Jaipur, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
These are the issues that should debated in Parliament, but it seems government is avoiding the session as it does not want to discuss these issues, he said.
Regarding the Amarnath land row, he said the party leaders and workers will take part in the three-day-long nation-wide agitation beginning tomorrow during which they would court arrest before the Raj Bhawan in all the states.
