Alagiri’s absence in Parliament most distressing: Jayalalithaa
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa on Saturday termed “most distressing,” the absence of Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers M K Alagiri in Parliament when questions relating to his Ministry were raised.
“Lakhs of people had purportedly cast their votes in his favour not for attending functions but to discharge his functions as a Parliamentarian and Union Minister. He is answerable to them,” she said in a statement.
Stating that the incident should not be viewed in isolation, she pointed out that each time questions relating to the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers came up, the ruling coalition has been forced to field the Minister of State Srikant Jena.
Pointing to the inability of Mr. Alagiri to converse in Hindi or English, which have been recognised as the official languages in Parliament under Article 120 of the Constitution, Ms. Jayalalithaa accused Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi of being unconcerned about the secondary status accorded to Tamil in Parliament.
