New Delhi, Nov. 8 -- The Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Derek O'Brien sharply criticized the Narendra Modi-led government today over the announcement of a reduced winter session of Parliament, scheduled from December 1 to 19 with only 15 working days.
Highlighting a trend since 2014, O'Brien accused the government of deliberately limiting parliamentary sitting days. "Prime Minister Modi and his team continue to suffer from an acute condition called Parliament-phobia - a morbid fear of facing Parliament," O'Brien said.
He pointed out that the average number of sitting days per session has fallen drastically from 45 days during the first Lok Sabha to barely 17 days in recent years, under the current administration.
