New Delhi (PPI): Even as Indian Parliament session draws to a close, main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party BJP has decided to keep alive twin issues of Indo-Pak joint statement delinking terror from the composite dialogue and price rise by raking it up at the constituency levels through its MPs. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and senior BJP leader L K Advani Tuesday told party MPs to "take to streets" on issue of Indo-Pak joint statement and rising prices of essential commodities after end of ongoing session of Parliament. BJP Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj told reporters that Advani, while addressing "wrap up" session of the party's Parliamentary Party meeting today, asked MPs to tour their constituencies "to spread awareness about the government's mistake to delink action against terror from composite dialogue and issue of rising prices". "Advani ji asked them to raise the two issues before the people after the session ends," Swaraj said. She said BJP is also "pleased" that government has unexpectedly given so many issues to the opposition by its mistakes so soon after elections.
