Stepping up the attack on the government over black money issue, Trinamool Congress MPs today blocked the main entrance of Parliament and threatened to derail the House proceedings.

The MPs, who had boycotted an all-party meeting called by the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Venkaiah Naidu, shouted anti-government slogans.

Majority of TMC MPs, including Dinesh Trivedi and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, were at the gate shouting 'Modi tanashai nahin chalegi' (dicatorship will not be tolerated), and 'kala dhan wapas lao' (bring back black money).

They said they will raise the black money issue on the floor of Parliament and seek the support of like-minded parties on this issue.

“BJP had promised that it would bring back black money after coming to power. It made a false promise,” they said.
