Rijiju's Attack on the Opposition
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju lashed out at the opposition's behavior. He said that the opposition's actions are shameful. He sarcastically remarked that the way the opposition behaves in Parliament, even school children are now saying, "Are MPs like this?"
Captain Shubhanshu Shukla Missed Opportunity for Honor
Rijiju expressed particular anger, saying that the opposition also snatched away the opportunity to honor the country's glorious hero, Captain Shubhanshu Shukla. He said that this is the same hero who went into space and unfurled the Indian flag, making the entire country proud. The government had allocated three days to honor him, but that honor also remained incomplete due to the opposition's uproar.
"The World Laughs at Your Actions" – Rijiju
Rijiju directly attacked the opposition. He said that the pictures and videos of what is happening inside Parliament go out. Seeing these, the world laughs and the country's image is tarnished. He said that the opposition should understand that maintaining the dignity of democracy is everyone's responsibility.
Government's Clear Stance – Will Pass the Bills
The Parliamentary Affairs Minister clearly stated that the government will carry out its work and pass the bills. He appealed to the opposition to participate in the discussion and have meaningful debates on issues related to the public.
Warning to the Opposition – The Public Will Reject
Rijiju said that the opposition thinks it will benefit by creating more uproar. But the truth is that excessive disruption angers the public, and they reject such parties in elections. He said that the opposition should understand that Parliament belongs to everyone, and disrupting its work is against democracy.
Lok Sabha Proceedings Adjourned Repeatedly
Throughout the day's events, the Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned repeatedly. As soon as the proceedings began at 11 am, the opposition started creating a loud uproar. Due to this, the proceedings had to be stopped first until 12 noon and then until 2 pm. The same was the situation in the Rajya Sabha, where no work could be done due to the opposition's uproar.
In the Lok Sabha, opposition MPs raised slogans and waved posters against the government. Meanwhile, the government described this as an irresponsible attitude. Rijiju said that the opposition should debate on issues, not waste time in sloganeering.
"No Sympathy Will Be Gained" – Rijiju
Rijiju clearly said that the opposition will not gain any sympathy by creating an uproar. The public knows who is working and who is just making noise. He appealed to the opposition to participate in the work of Parliament and discuss the bills.
The bill introduced by IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnav aims to streamline the promotion and regulation of online gaming. The government decided to bring this bill in view of the continuous increase in online games and the misuse happening in them in the country.
