Government today disputed Trinamool Congress's claim that it had not kept the party in the loop over the voting on the Women's Reservation Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
Parliamentary affairs minister PK Bansal told reporters that he had written to the Trinamool Congress whip Mukul Roy about the Bill coming up in the House yesterday, suggesting him to take appropriate steps.
Trinamool Congress chief and railway minister Mamata Banerjee had earlier attributed her party's abstention from voting on the Women's Reservation Bill in Rajya Sabha to a "communication gap" and said she was committed to the Constitutional amendment.
"In Rajya Sabha we have two members. We were not informed...there was a communication gap," she had said.
