“This is the seventh time in a row that a parliamentary session has been cut short. Stop making fun of #Parliament. We will fight for its preservation and prevent Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah from transforming this great institution into the Gujarat Gymkhana “In a tweet, O’Brien stated.
