Hyderabad: Opposing the Delhi Ordinance Bill, the BRS MPs staged a dharna at the Mahatma Gandhi statue in the Parliament premises on Friday. They held placards bearing the slogans “Save Manipur” and “Withdraw Delhi Ordinance Bill,” expressing their strong dissent against the contentious legislation.
The BRS termed the Delhi Ordinance Bill, as a threat to democratic federalism and it has been a subject of fierce debate in the Parliament. The MPs, led by BRS Lok Sabha leader Nama Nageswara Rao, labeled the bill as undemocratic and called for its immediate withdrawal.
Nageswara Rao asserted that the proposed legislation undermines the democratic principles of the nation. He criticised the NDA government, accusing them of attempting to stifle federalism, which he believes is an essential part of the democratic fabric.
