MPs of the NDA have decided to sacrifice their salaries and other allowances for 23 days of the ongoing Budget Session during which Parliament hasn't functioned. Parliament Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar made this announcement Yesterday as there is every possibility of a complete wash-out of the second half of the budget session. This is for the first time in the past few decades, Lawmakers have voluntarily come forward to forgo their salaries.
The latest move of NDA offers strength to the speculations that Centre is likely to adjourn Parliament on Thursday instead of extending the session till Friday. Not accepting salaries is an attempt of the Ruling Party to throw the blame of Opposition for non-functioning of the Parliament.
Ananth Kumar alleged Congress has been resorting to undemocratic practices to stop passage of crucial bills and it resulted in wastage of tax payers money. BJP has to blame none but itself for the way Budget Session went on. It was this party which provoked AIADMK to cause disruptions in Parliament so that debate on No Confidence Motion doesn't happen.
