'Everyone except O'Brien agreed to scrap Question Hour'

Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Pralhad Joshi said that everyone except TMC’s Derek O'Brien agreed to scrap Question Hour in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament. He said, “Opposition, mainly Congress and TMC are raising questions over scrapping off question hour in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament. I would like to clear one thing that we have talked to each one of them and everyone agreed with scrapping off question hour, except TMC’s Derek O'Brien. Each member of each party had agreed with the suspension of question hour. Even senior political leaders had said that situation is unprecedented so this should be followed. I want to say it on record, except Derek O'Brien, everybody had agreed and after that we summoned it.”
