 "Lok Sabha being run in 'undemocratic' manner, says LoP Rahul Gandhi")
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that he was not being given a chance to speak and the House was being run in an "undemocratic manner".
Gandhi said the Speaker made remarks about him and then adjourned the House without giving him an opportunity to speak.
He said that in the last week he had not been allowed to speak.
About 70 Congress Lok Sabha MPs, including deputy leader of Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi, party general secretary KC Venugopal and party's whip in the Lok Sabha Manickam Tagore, met the Lok Sabha speaker and raised the "denial" of opportunity to Gandhi to speak in the House, party sources said.
