Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused the government of not allowing him to speak in Parliament despite his speech being ready, and said an "earthquake will happen" if he gets the opportunity to speak.

For the last one month I want to speak in the Lok Sabha... want to speak what is in the heart of the poor across the country about demonetisation...but I am being stopped from speaking.

"If they allow me to speak in the Parliament then you shall see that an earthquake will happen," Gandhi said.

The Congress leader alleged that demonetisation is the biggest scam in the history of India.

Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi said: "He is giving speeches across the country but is scared of coming to the Lok Sabha. Why is he running away?"

The government and the Opposition have locked horns over the issue of demonetisation in the ongoing winter session.
