PM must intervene to end Parliament logjam; Monsoon session be extended: RJD MP Manoj Jha

Accusing the government of "closing the door" on negotiations to break the Parliament logjam over the Pegasus issue, RJD leader Manoj Kumar Jha on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi must intervene to end the impasse, and called for extending the Monsoon session to make up for the lost time.

The Rajya Sabha member and an influential Opposition voice also slammed the government for repeatedly stressing it was "reaching out" to the Opposition parties, saying the phrase does not just mean that "with hands in your pockets and a stiff face, you say 'this is what I have to offer, nothing else'".

"Under the garb of reaching out they have been closing the door on negotiations. Many times I have noted that the so-called people entrusted with the idea of reaching out, probably lack the mandate in offering anything tangible to the Opposition," Jha told PTI in an interview.
