"We are ready to discuss all issues in the House. I have not been able to understand why they (Opposition) are doing this?" Naidu said outside Parliament.
Both the Houses were adjourned for the day today as the Opposition continued to disrupt proceedings.
"What is the logic behind Congress and other parties raising this issue? They are saying people are suffering, ATMs are not functioning. Then why are you not discussing these issues in the House? Why you are not allowing a debate?" he asked.
"Are you in favour of demonetisation? Are you in favour of remonetisation? Are you against black money? Are you ready to support government in its fight against black money and corruption? Where do you stand? Why are you creating ruckus? If you are so agitated then why are you not allowing the House to function?"
"The Opposition is not allowing discussion on issues affecting people. You insisted that the Prime Minister should come to the House. He came to the House. What else? The debate was halfway through and suddenly you wanted to divert the issue? What are your problems? Who has pulled you back from the debate?" he asked.
He appealed to the Opposition to allow Lok Sabha to function so that a bill for raising the quota for differently- abled can be passed.
