Jaipur:
Alleging that all questions related to coal department have been removed from Parliament website, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused Congress of trying to hide the truth about the "coal scam" and said it will lodge a complaint with Rajya Sabha Chairman.
"On the website, questions related to coal ministry on August 27 were not put up. On August 29, questions of other departments were put up but questions of coal ministry were still not put up. They want to hide it," party's national spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said today.
adding, "I have given a written complaint to Hamid Ansari, requesting him to enquire the matter and give us reasons about these faults and why they happened. No department should be allowed to hide the facts. It is very clear that PM's explanation fails."
Justifying the stalling of proceedings of Parliament over coal block allocation issue, he said the BJP will not withdraw its demand of resignation of Prime Minister.
"We are not allowing Parliament to function over the issue of coal block allocation because this is a 'movement' in public interest. We were adamant and parliament did not function for 17 days over the issue of 2G spectrum scam last year and the outcome was in the favour of the country," Mr Javadekar said.
"We are firm on our demand that PM should resign over this issue because he is directly responsible for the corruption. It is also important for impartial probe in the scam," he added.
The BJP leader also alleged that the government tried to shift the blame of chief ministers of BJP ruled states to save its face and demanded that the government disclose the letters from all the chief ministers.
"It was the Congress which delayed the policy for coal block allocation so that it can make under-the-table deals to allot blocks as per its wish, but the things are open now," he alleged.
