New Delhi: With Parliament being stalled for the sixth consecutive day, BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Tuesday said MPs should face 'no work, no pay' if minimum business is not transacted.
"Good news about the government accepting united opposition's demand of adjournment motion in Parliament. 6th straight day of no work. Current Lok Sabha has had fewest working hours since 1985. Time has indeed come for 'no work, no pay' for MPs if minimum business not transacted," Gandhi said on Twitter.
He further said he felt "silly, getting paid to sit around, drink coffee in Central Hall".
Parliament was disrupted for the sixth consecutive day on Tuesday since the Winter session began. Opposition has been giving notices for adjournment motions on issues like withdrawal of FDI in retail, price rise and black money and this has led to disruptions in both Houses of Parliament.
BJP Rajya Sabha MP Smriti Irani took on Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his Twitter comments that MPs disrupting Parliament should not get any pay, accusing him of creating more controversies.
"Instead of answering questions on fears of small traders, small shopkeepers and unemployed youth, the chief minister of J-K is using his Twitter handle to create more controversies," Irani said.
"The first ones to take a pay cut should be the Congress MPs who have disrupted the House," she added.
