New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Sunday walked out of the all-party meeting alleging that the government never allows anyone to speak during the meet.
“They (Government) don’t let any member speak during the all-party meeting. I raised the issue of bringing a law on the MSP guarantee in this session of the Parliament and other issues including the extension of Border Security Force’s jurisdiction, among others.
