New Delhi, Dec. 21 :     Parliamentary affairs minister Pramod Mahajan shot off a letter this evening to BJP MPs, asking them not to move private member?s Bills without consulting him. Mahajan?s missive came as a sequel to reservations expressed by Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee at a BJP parliamentary party meeting this morning. Vajpayee took a serious view of certain private member?s Bills, moved by party MPs in the winter session of Parliament, which ended up embarrassing the government. The Bills irked the Congress at a time when its support was critical for the passage of important economic and financial Bills in the Rajya Sabha, where the BJP-led coalition is in a minority. The BJP?s debutant MP, Kirit Somaiyya, had moved a Bill to bar persons of foreign origin from occupying high offices in India, which was clearly targeted at Sonia Gandhi. The Bill was introduced amid a division in the Lok Sabha. Last Friday, another BJP MP Mahant Adityanath introduced two controversial Bills: one to legislate an uniform civil code and the other banning cow slaughter. Not only did the Opposition protest these bills but BJP allies like the DMK, MDMK, Biju Janata Dal, Trinamul Congress and Janata Dal (United) abstained when they were put to vote in the Lok Sabha. Later, the DMK and MDMK chiefs, M Karunanidhi and Vaiko, opposed the bills publicly and cautioned the government not to stray from the NDA manifesto, which excludes Hindutva-related issues. Though Mahajan persuaded the Congress to back the government on all important financial Bills, he had a tough time reining in dissension within the BJP. When the winter session began, MPs from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, led by Ram Nagina Mishra, spoke out against the government?s liberalisation policy. They alleged that the Centre was responsible for the closure of sugar mills, leaving lakhs of workers unemployed and burdening farmers with surplus produce. Mishra opposed the insurance Bill during Zero Hour and warned the government that the profits by overseas insurance firms would be siphoned off from India. The government was put on the mat by the Opposition, which demanded that the Union ministers chargesheeted in the Babri demolition, including L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti, resign. No business could be transacted in the Lok Sabha for two days. BJP sources said the leadership was trying to zero in on some MPs, who are suspected to have instigated the Opposition to persist with the Ayodhya issue.
