New Delhi, August 3: The Lok Sabha’s proceedings were once again disrupted on Monday due to opposition protests during the monsoon session of Parliament. Opposition parties raised concerns over the Delhi Police’s actions against students during a ‘Parliament March’ on July 20, demanding that Home Minister Amit Shah come to the House to provide answers. Meanwhile, NDA members accused the opposition of deliberately obstructing the proceedings to avoid discussion.
Opposition MPs argued that the Delhi Police operates under the Ministry of Home Affairs, thus making it essential for Home Minister Amit Shah to address the issue in the House.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra stated that the opposition has consistently called for a response from Amit Shah regarding the police action against students. Despite the passage of time, he has yet to appear in the House to address the matter.
Congress MP Tanuj Punia described the treatment of students demanding their rights as unfortunate. He emphasized that accountability should be established for those responsible for the actions taken against the students. Rahul Gandhi has rightly questioned the nature of the treatment students received and asked under whose orders the Delhi police acted.
Congress MP Kumari Selja claimed that the House is not functioning due to the ruling party’s actions. She argued that the opposition’s demands are entirely justified, and the absence of Amit Shah from the House indicates a desire to govern through social media rather than respecting the dignity of Parliament.
On the other hand, BJP MP Trivendra Singh Rawat condemned the continuous disruptions, stating that the opposition should be held accountable. He noted that people want their elected representatives to be heard in Parliament, but the opposition is obstructing the process, which is not a healthy sign for democracy.
BJP MP Janardan Sighriwal highlighted the obstinacy of the opposition, particularly Congress, which he claimed does not want Parliament to function. He accused them of always seeking opportunities to disrupt proceedings, showing a lack of interest in the country’s development.
In the meantime, leaders from both sides responded to the JPSC paper leak issue. BJP MP Aditya Sahu criticized Congress for its silence, stating that the Jharkhand government is supported by them while thousands of students suffer in the open without proper food.
Samajwadi Party MP Jiyaurrahman Bark emphasized that if something is wrong, it should not be ignored. He noted that Congress governs in Jharkhand and that merely protesting is not a solution. There should be discussions on the issue, and accountability must be established for any wrongdoing.
He also commented on the acquittal of former Wrestling Federation of India president Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, stating that it is a legal matter and the legal process is not yet complete. He believes athletes deserve respect and that everyone should be free to express their opinions, but they must differentiate between truth and falsehood.
Meanwhile, in response to exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen’s comments on madrasas, SP MP Ikra Hasan questioned who gave her the right to make such statements. She asserted that no one has the authority to speak disparagingly about India’s diversity and emphasized that madrasas have produced many scholars.
Regarding the theft of donations for the Ram Temple, SP MP Pushpendra Saroj stated that the issue of donations is deeply connected to people’s faith and should be discussed. He accused the BJP of engaging in politics around the Ram name and alleged that 40 percent of donations for temple construction were misappropriated, with no action taken against the culprits.
