Derek O’Brien’s intervention in Rajya Sabha on the Union govt withholding funds under National Health Mission amounting to 830 crores for Bengal for not complying with a colour scheme
Sir, I would like to say something. No, Sir. When the Leader of the House gets up to speak, we always take that with all seriousness and in good spirit. And I am not here to get into a counter argument. Coming to the simple point which my colleague was making, yes, we will always comply. But our point was that complying with the colour scheme, while people are not getting the health benefits, is a bit over the top. Not for the colour, for something else, we will take it in that spirit. Just because it is not your favourite colour, people are left not to get the health benefits, is something which should be reconsidered by the Government with a little empathy. Thank you, Sir.
