Rejecting allegations that opposition was not allowing Parliament to function, CPI(M) today said it was the government that was doing so and reminded BJP of the yardstick it used during 2G scam.

“If there is anyone which is not allowing Parliament to function, it is this government…BJP had the same position during the 2G scam when the entire winter session 2010 was washed out on similar demand … we are asking why the BJP is not using the same yardstick when they are in power,” CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury told newspersons here.

On the government’s insistence that all matters can be debated in the House, he said debate cannot substitute investigation as it cannot hold anyone guilty.

“We demand that the minister and chief ministers against whom allegations have been made resign as per the law of the land under which all government officials demit office and a high level inquiry held to decide who is guilty and who is not but the government is not ready to accept it,” he said.
