Tried to reach out to PM Modi but he didn't listen to us: AAP MP

AAP's Punjab MP Bhagwant Mann claimed on Friday that his party legislators tried to reach out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after a function in Parliament but he did not listen to them. Prime Minister Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Union ministers and parliamentarians on Friday paid floral tributes to Madan Mohan Malaviya and former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the Central Hall of Parliament on their birth anniversary. Prime Minister Modi also released a book, "Atal Bihari Vajpayee: A Commemorative Volume", to mark the occasion. Soon after the book release, as the prime minister was about to leave the venue, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) members Sanjay Singh and Mann raised slogans, demanding the repeal of the Centre's contentious farm laws. Modi was speaking with the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad, and the leader of the Congress Party in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, at that moment. Addressing a press conference, Mann said AAP MPs raised slogans

A press conference without press people?

Letters: Unbecoming behaviour

With reference to Archis Mohan's report, "Mann affair casts shadow on Bills business" (July 23), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Lok Sabha member Bhagwant Mann's act of posting a video recording of security arrangements in Parliament on social media may have far-reaching effects.Due to Mann's thoughtless act, Rajya Sabha was adjourned and Lok Sabha proceedings were also halted, hampering scheduled business in both the Houses.Perhaps, the biggest loser was the government's effort to build consensus with the Congress on the Goods and Services Tax Constitution Amendment Bill.It is unfortunate that the AAP is accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of using the Mann issue to deflect the matter of attacks on Dalits in Gujarat. Why does the AAP try to find fault with others and project itself as a victim of circumstances?S Kumar New DelhiLetters can be mailed, faxed or e-mailed to:The Editor, Business StandardNehru House, 4 Bahadur Shah Zafar MargNew Delhi 110 002Fax: (011) 23720201E-mail: letters@bsmai
