O'Brein slammed Dushyant Singh saying it's a very serious matter if he is under isolation as he was sitting near Dushyant Singh two days ago. "This government is putting us all at risk. The PM says self isolate yourself but the Parliament is on. I was sitting next to Dushyant the other day for over 2 hours. There are two more MPs who are in self-isolation. The session should be deferred," O'Brein said.
