"Sir, I hereby give notice of my intention to ask for leave to move a motion for the adjournment of the business of the house for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent importance, namely:- It is a matter of great concern that the price of petrol and diesel has reached Rs 90/-. While the people of this country are already suffering acute fiscal depression due to nationwide lockdown, the continuous price hike of petrol has put their life in deep misery. Therefore there is a need to discuss the false policy of the government in this regard and direct the government to take appropriate action to reduce the mountain size excise tax and thus reduce the price of petrol," the Congress leader said in a letter to Secretary-General of the Lower House.
