Ms Gandhi said the party will raise the demand for declaring the recent calamity in Himachal Pradesh a 'national disaster'.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday said Mandi MP Pratibha Singh would raise in the special session of Parliament the demand for declaring the recent calamity in Himachal Pradesh a 'national disaster'.
However, Priyanka Gandhi said she was not sure if Ms Singh, who is also the Himachal Congress chief, would be allowed to raise the demand during the session. The special session of Parliament will be held from September 18 to 22.
"We do not know what the session is about and whether she (Pratibha Singh) would be allowed to raise the issue or not but even if this does not happen, we should make a strong representation to the Centre on it and the Congress would fully support it," the Congress general secretary told reporters during her visit to the Shiva temple site in Summer Hill.
