Digivijay Singh's remark suggesting use of Marshals to ensure smooth running of Parliament has kicked up a political row with BJP seeking clarification from Congress president Sonia Gandhi and CPI terming it “authoritarianism”.
As the controversy picked up, Congress sought to distance itself from Singh's remarks, saying it does not consider it necessary to comment on each comment made by “any individual”.
“Another day wasted in Parliament. It hasn't used Institution of Marshals in Parliament since 2004 to make it function. High time they did!” Singh remarked on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
Reacting sharply to it, BJP spokesperson Prakash Javdekar said, “We strongly condemn the statement of Digivijay Singh. This is highly undemocratic.
“We want to ask the UPA chairperson if the government wants to run Parliament by force. Sonia Gandhi should clarify whether she agrees with Singh's statement or take action action against him.”
