Sonia Gandhi in Rajasthan inaugurates canal project

Congress President and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi today slammed the BJP and dared it for a debate on issues over which they have been stalling Parliament proceedings. Sonia Gandhi, who inaugurated a drinking water project, said the country is facing several serious challenges that demanded people rise above party lines.
In an apparent reference to the BJP, Sonia Gandhi said some people were politicising every issue to stall Parliament. "Today, we face several serious challenges like the slowing down of global economy, which to a limited extent has affected us. Apart from this, we are faced by inflation, drought, floods, social tensions which are other problems," the Congress President said.
"To deal with all these problems, we today need to rise above party lines to support each other. But sadly, some people by politicising every issue are busy in stalling the proceedings of Parliament," added Sonia Gandhi. She also questioned the BJP's tactic of not allowing Parliament function after the CAG report on coal block allocations was tabled in the House.
Sonia Gandhi asked whether stalling Parliament would help the country in any way. "Do we want to destroy this democratic system, which our ancestors, our freedom fighters after sacrificing their lives have gifted to us? Will this help the country?" she asked.
"The solutions to the problems and the issues that are facing us today can only be found through discussion in Parliament. If someone thinks that either everything will happen according to their wishes or nothing will happen then this cannot happen in a democracy," she said.
The UPA Chairperson questioned why the BJP was avoiding a debate on the issue of coal block allocations and said she believed that a discussion would bring facts out in the open.
"The repeated invitations of the UPA government for debate, why is it that these people avoid it? I request everyone that keeping in mind the glory of democracy and Parliament, they should participate in the proceedings," she said.
"Mujhe poora vishwas hai, iss se doodh ka doodh, aur paani ka paani ho jayega. (I have complete faith that through discussion, the fact will be separated from fiction)," said Sonia Gandhi.
