Supriya Shrinate, spokesperson of the Congress, said that the government does not want to answer the questions raised by senior party leader Rahul Gandhi. "Rahul Gandhi in writing twice asked to speak, he met the Speaker and asked for time to speak, he was denied the time to speak, Rahul Gandhi asked pertinent questions, and nobody from the government wants to answer them," said Mr Shrinate. The Congress spokesperson made the remarks when asked whether the opposition was responsible for the washout of the second half of parliament session.
