A tweet of TMC leader Derek O Brien criticising the manner of bills passage in Parliament also drew Modi s ire, Joshi and another Union minister V Muraleedharan told reporters, without naming the TMC member.
He had tweeted, In the first 10 days, Modi-Shah rushed through and passed 12 Bills at an average time of UNDER SEVEN MINUTES per Bill. Passing legislation or making papri chaat!
Such comments are derogatory of parliamentary procedure and esteem of elected representatives, Muraleedharan said quoting Modi.
The conduct of the opposition is an insult to Parliament and the Constitution, Joshi said, quoting the prime minister.
The opposition has stalled Parliament s proceedings demanding a discussion on the Pegasus snooping row, an issue dismissed as inconsequential by the government.
