Branding Congress as 'Hungama Party', BJP today alleged that court summons issued in the National Herald case is the reason behind the party's move to disrupt and stall the Parliament proceedings.
"The government had a cordial interaction with the Opposition over tea. But judiciary and CBI are independent ...The Congress resorted to stalling tactics in Parliament after the court summons were issued," BJP spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain said while addressing a press conference here.
Hussain said it was the Congress that was showing intolerance and had become a "Hungama Party", which was trying to block the passage of laws needed for the country.
"Court summons issued (to Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul) in the National Herald case was the reason behind the Congress move to disrupt and stall the Parliament proceedings," he said adding that the party needs a "good adviser".
On the DDCA case, Hussain said Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was "clean" and therefore, had sued Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders for making baseless allegations. "The whole party is with Jaitley."
In response to a question, Hussain said Muslims in India would not get a better neighbour than Hindus and that the minorities were best protected in India.
