NEW DELHI: Senior government functionaries on Thursday took exception to former vice-president Hamid Ansari’s assertions in his recently-released autobiography that NDA felt entitled to get bills passed in Rajya Sabha even amid din, saying that the former chairman of the Upper House raised no objection when 13 bills were passed in similar circumstances between 2007 and 2014 under UPA.
“It is case of selective outrage and belated discovery of procedure,” said a senior government source. In his autobiography, ‘By Many A Happy Accident’, Ansari has written that “NDA felt that its majority in Lok Sabha gave it the ‘moral’ right to prevail over procedural impediments in Rajya Sabha”.
