Congress today lashed out at the opposition for bringing an adjournment motion in Parliament on price rise and dubbed it as a disruptive tactic which the government would not succumb to.
 
"We are ready in every manner to discuss any issue. But if your object is to sensationalise and create instability, then we are not ready," party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi told reporters here.
 
He said no individual member or party can decide the modalities of running the House as it functions according to relevant rules.
 
"We hope and trust that the opposition, particularly BJP, will allow Parliament to function in a constructive and harmonious manner," Singhvi said, adding that the party had information that opposition wants to disrupt the proceedings.
 
Asked whether the party was confident of Parliamentary support in case it accepted the adjournment motion, Singhvi said the government had defeated the cut-motions during the Budget session.
 
Terming as "completely unreasonable" the opposition's decision to press for an adjournment motion, Singhvi said, "while they have a right to propose, the House and the chair have the right to dispose."
 
The spokesperson said, "We hope and trust that the churlishness displayed on Friday (when BJP held a press conference to defend Gujarat home minister Amit Shah) will not become a matter of habit."
