Home Minister P Chidambaram used sarcasm to depict today’s reality in Parliament, which has been paralysed during the entire Monsoon Session over the 2G Spectrum issue.

“Today, the Parliament convenes at 11 AM and it ends at 11.05 AM. It ends in five minutes. We discuss about the day-to-day happenings in just five minutes. We discuss everything by that time,” Chidambaram said sarcastically at a function in Tamil Sangam in New Delhi.

He made the remarks while recalling “great debates” between late Congress leader C Subramaniam and the DMK leader C N Annadurai in the Tamil Nadu Assembly in 1960s.

Since the Winter Session began on 10th November, Parliament has not been functioning due to Opposition uproar over constitution of a Joint Parliamentary Committee to probe the 2G spectrum scam.
