Letters: Unbecoming behaviour

With reference to Archis Mohan's report, "Mann affair casts shadow on Bills business" (July 23), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Lok Sabha member Bhagwant Mann's act of posting a video recording of security arrangements in Parliament on social media may have far-reaching effects.

Due to Mann's thoughtless act, Rajya Sabha was adjourned and Lok Sabha proceedings were also halted, hampering scheduled business in both the Houses.

Perhaps, the biggest loser was the government's effort to build consensus with the Congress on the Goods and Services Tax Constitution Amendment Bill.

It is unfortunate that the AAP is accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of using the Mann issue to deflect the matter of attacks on Dalits in Gujarat. Why does the AAP try to find fault with others and project itself as a victim of circumstances?
