Internal issues should not be discussed by others: Om Birla tells European Parliament VP
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Saturday lodged a strong protest with European Parliament Vice President Nicola Beer over the passage of a proposal linked to India's internal matters.
Birla further highlighted India's sovereignty and protested against bringing proposals to the European Parliament on its internal issues.
Earlier in July, just ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to France for the Bastille Day Parade, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling on India to act «promptly» to halt the violence in Manipur and protect religious minorities.
Om Birla insisted that every nation and parliament is sovereign and that their internal issues should not be discussed by others.
Om Birla also held bilateral discussions with the Vice President of the European Parliament Nicola Beer.
European Parliament Vice President Nicola Beer also informed Om Birla that Europe is going through challenging times and sought India's cooperation, it further stated.
