New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday accused the government of "running away" from the discussion on important matters in the Rajya Sabha and urged the Chair to arrange a discussion on Aadhaar identity card, which the government wants to use for various purposes.
The issue was raised by Congress member Jairam Ramesh, who said he was informed that discussion on Aadhaar would not be possible on Wednesday as Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was not well.
"The Minister is here. Discussion can be held," he said, pointing towards Jaitley.
"He looks hale and hearty. Will he be unwell tomorrow (Wednesday)," the Congress leader asked.
Other Congress members also supported Ramesh and said the issue should be debated.
Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien once again pacified him, saying the issue was being examined and he would soon be informed about it.
Singh has submitted a substantive motion on the issue and has been demanding a discussion for almost a week now.
