Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also said BJP lawmakers decided to contribute Rs 10,000 each for Chennai flood relief.
With Parliament facing many disruptions by Congress, BJP today attacked it saying it was using the
National Herald case to harm national interest and holding the country's development "hostage" to its "selfish" political goal.
The BJP Parliamentary Party voiced concern over the way the main opposition party was creating "obstruction" in the path of development and said it would be "suicidal" for it.
Briefing the media after the meeting, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said BJP has issued a whip, asking its members in both the Houses to be present for the remainder of the Winter session during which the government hopes to push through a host of Bills even as prospect for it appears dim.
The parliamentary party was told that a number of programmes aimed at empowering youth, including skill development projects in every Lok Sabha constituency, will be launched on January 12, the birth anniversary of spiritual guru Vivekananda, said Mr Naqvi.
The party lawmakers also decided to contribute Rs 10,000 each for Chennai flood relief, he said.
"The parliamentary party expressed its concern over the negative politics of Congress and its attempt to obstruct the country's development. It is doing so for its own narrow and selfish political interest and it can be suicidal for Congress," said the minister.
"The National Herald case is being used to harm national interest. Congress should see to it that the case does not overshadow national interest," Mr Naqvi said.
Asked about Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raid at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's office for which he has blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr Naqvi said it had become a "fashion" to blame the prime minister for everything.
"It's Modi-phobia. If somebody has pain in stomach, he will claim that he has got the disease from PMO," he said.
At the meeting, a booklet titled 'National Herald case: family greed and national blackmail' was also distributed among the BJP lawmakers.
On former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's birthday on December 25, party leaders were asked to hold blood camps, distribute warm clothes in Dalit areas and carry out other welfare activities, Mr Naqvi said.
PM Modi could not attend the meeting due to his prior engagements. Top party leaders, including Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley and LK Advani, participated in it.
