Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday said a decision on whether to oppose the Centre’s ordinance on the control of administrative services in Delhi would be taken before the Parliament session.His remarks come a day after the AAP’s ultimatum that it will walk out of the Opposition meeting in Patna if the Congress does not promise its support over the issue.
Asked about the ordinance issue and AAP’s ultimatum, Kharge, before leaving for Patna on Friday morning, said his party would take a decision on it before Parliament’s Monsoon Session and wondered why it was being talked about elsewhere when it was a matter that pertains to Parliament.
“Opposing it or proposing it does not happen outside, it happens in Parliament. Before Parliament begins, all parties decide what issues they have to work on together. They (AAP) know it and even their leaders come to our all-party meetings. I don’t know why there is so much publicity about it outside,” Kharge said.
