The BJP on Saturday issued a whip to its members asking them to be present in the Rajya Sabha for three days starting Monday.
The Upper House is currently taking an unfinished discussion on the demonetisation issue with Opposition demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi be present in the house during the debate.
Sharp clashes have been witnessed in Rajya Sabha in the last two days after leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad made certain comments linking Uri terror attack casualties to the deaths during demonetisation crisis.
“The party has issued whip for three days November 21 to November 23 asking all its MPs in Rajya Sabha to be present in the House,” according to sources.
With the political battle heating up over the demonetisation issue in and outside Parliament, BJP's top brass has also asked its MPs to publicise benefits of the demonetisation and also to counter the opposition's charges against it.
BJP's Parliamentary Party office has given all the MPs, including those of its allies, a compilation of the RBI's and Finance Ministry's communication over demonetisation so that they could use the information to inform the masses and counter the Opposition's points, sources said.
