Govt suppressing oppn voice: Cong

Keeping up with its offensive over suspension of party MPs, Congress top brass Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday staged a dharna in Parliament complex for the third consecutive day, accusing the Government of "suppressing" their voice.

"Our voice is being suppressed in Parliament," Rahul Gandhi said agitating against <g data-gr-id="14">suspension</g> of 25 Congress MPs.

Joined by members of SP, JD-U and RJD, the Congress MPs also shouted slogans accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of backing Lalit Modi and asked him to break his silence over various controversies including the Vyapam scam.

Both Sonia and Rahul, who was flanked by Sharad Yadav and K C Tyagi of JD-U and Jaya Prakash <g data-gr-id="16">Naryana</g> Yadav of RJD, vociferously raised slogans along with other protestors denouncing the Narendra Modi dispensation.
