Govt says will hold debate on Manipur

Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha, Piyush Goyal said, "We have clearly said to the Rajya Sabha Chairman Speaker that whenever he wants, we are ready to have discussions on Manipur. We are requesting the Opposition to have discussions for 10 days. The Opposition is scared of something, they are running away from discussions. I said inside Parliament that we should have discussions today at 2 pm."

Opposition should introspect, says Piyush Goyal

Leader of the house in Rajya Sabha, Piyush Goyal on Monday (July 31) said in the House that the government wants discussion on Manipur violence issue in the House today at 2 pm itself so that everybody can see through opposition's plans behind stalling the proceedings of the Parliament session in the name of discussion on Manipur. "The government is ready to discuss Manipur, why are they running away from the debate, what are they trying to hide? Opposition people should introspect," said Goyal.
