Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday blamed the Opposition for the washout of the first week of the Monsoon session , accusing it of not allowing Parliament to function despite the government agreeing to its demand for a discussion on these issues right from the session's start. Asked about the Opposition's demand that Parliament discuss the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, he said all issues cannot be taken up at once and the government will take a call on other matters gradually. One has to follow the rules guiding discussion in Parliament, he said, when asked about the Opposition's insistence. With the electoral rolls revision exercise being seen in the government circles as the Election Commission carrying out its mandate, the possibility of a discussion on the contentious issue is slim, sources said.
