Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman lashed out at the Opposition while speaking to the media persons on July 31. She exclaimed that the Opposition doesn’t want to participate in the discussion on the Manipur issue and that today it was proved that the Opposition was just shedding crocodile tears.
She said, “Opposition doesn’t want to participate in the discussion on the Manipur issue. Today when this issue was taken up in the Parliament, the Opposition ran away from the discussion. Saddened by the behaviour of the Opposition. Manipur is just a political issue for them (Opposition). Today it was proved that they were just shedding crocodile tears on the Manipur issue. If they genuinely cared, then they would have discussed it.”
