Congress committing dacoity on rights of OBCs, SCs, STs: PM
“Wherever it (Congress) can do it, it will try to loot the claims of the SCs, STs and OBCs and give them to others,” said Modi.
Addressing the retiring members of Rajya Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said it would have been good had the MPs been part of upcoming historic Triple Talaq bill.
Blaming the continued disruptions in the upper house of Parliament, Modi said: “Unfortunately, the retiring members will not be part of Parliament when the decision on instant triple talaq is taken.”
The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, popularly known as the Triple Talaq Bill, was passed in the Lok Sabha but is yet to get the nod in the Upper House.

He said the outgoing members must have prepared speeches on important issues so that their contribution is remembered. But they could not do so.
Modi said that the responsibility of smooth functioning lies not only with the opposition but also with the government.
The Rajya Sabha, Modi said, is a distinguished House with eminent members serving here. He said the House plays a vital role in India’s democracy.
“We bid farewell to some of our MP colleagues in the Rajya Sabha. All of the outgoing parliamentarians have their significant contribution, importance, and each one of them has tried to contribute to the best of their capacity for the bright future of this country, and the country will not forget them,” he said.
