आप संसद में आ नहीं सकते, सवाल पूछ नहीं सकते, डिबेट कर नहीं सकते, वोटिंग करवाते नहीं...फिर काहे की संसद ?? फिर काहे का लोकतंत्र ??

Bhagwant Mann was seen alleging that although they had boycotted the address of the President but it was necessary to go inside and mark our protest in front to President and the union government because President had signed on the contentious bills that are termed as 'warrant of death' for farmers.
Four members of Aam Aadmi Party comprising of three from Rajya Sabha and one Mann himself from Lok Sabha were not allowed to enter the central hall on the excuse that their names were not in the list of invited members.
Mann alleges that he had brought Covid-19 negative reports also so that they would have allowed them inside. He alleges that they said the list includes only 145 members while other members were not allowed, including the leaders of AAP.
चुने हुये सांसदों को संसद के सेंट्रल हॉल के दरवाज़े पर रोक लिया गया...और अधिकारियों ने कहा कि आप अंदर नहीं जा सकते...सरकार ने सिर्फ़ अपने मनपसंद सांसदों को सेंट्रल हॉल में बुला कर उन सांसदों से सरकार की तारीफ़ करवाई जा रही है...RIP लोकतंत्र pic.twitter.com/2LDcAaVoAC
