NEW DELHI, Dec 15: "I feel like resigning". An anguished BJP veteran L K Advani remarked in Lok Sabha on the penultimate day of the Winter Session of Parliament Thursday, exasperated over its virtual washout on the note ban issue.
Advani has shown anguish soon after Speaker Sumitra Mahajan adjourned the House for the day amid trading of charges between the government and the Opposition on smooth functioning of proceedings.
Remaining seated in his front seat, Advani first narrated his feelings to Union minister Smriti Irani, who in turn drew the attention of Home Minister Rajnath Singh standing nearby.
Advani was heard telling the Home Minister to convey to the Speaker that she should ensure the House runs tomorrow to have a discussion on note ban.
"If it does not happen and Parliament is adjourned sine die without discussion , it will be considered a washout," Advani said.
He was heard remarking that even today, talks should be held with the opposition, especially Congress, on ensuring smooth debate tomorrow.(Agencies)
