Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien on Tuesday said parliament should be closed down amid the coronavirus outbreak that has affected over 100 people in India and killed three. Here are the highlights of what he said: The average age of Rajya Sabha is 64, Lok Sabha 53. There is high risk. Why should parliament be running? Ask the PM. Is there a Madhya Pradesh link? Focus should not be on politics. Leave your politics behind. We should be fighting this together. This is not a 56-inch chest match...This is the time we should rise above politics. Government cannot be knowing all the answers every time. If you really believe in cooperative federalism, put your ego in pocket and learn from what other state governments have done. West Bengal Chief Minister has opened 200 crore fund, government has a new insurance cover of Rs 5 lakh. These are great ideas. Bengal's message to the country to fight coronavirus - act, but don't panic. Bengal has cut down the budget session. All administrative meeting cut down.
