Union’s Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday alleged opposing the ruin of Parliament and said that important bills would be passed in both houses today.
Addressing a press conference in the national capital, Rijiju said, “The Congress party and the opposition have wasted a lot of time. Now we will not allow the country to happen and the time of Parliament will be wasted in any way. The government wants to pass important bills. Today, we will pass important bills in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.”
He claimed that even many opposition MPs are asked to forcefully create a ruckus, and they are helpless.
“The country cannot suffer so much damage due to the stupidity of a man and a family. Many opposition MPs also came and said that they are helpless. Their leaders forcefully ask them to create an uproar … Every day, we will not ruin the country’s time and the time of Parliament on an issue. Therefore, we will pass important bills.”
Kiren Rijiju made a “final appeal” to the opposition to participate in the discussion on bills.
“We make our final appeal to the opposition. We will pass the bill. You should participate in the discussion. Then you should not spread lies that you did not allow to speak or that the mixed was muted. We want everyone to participate in the discussion on important bills.”
Today, taking a jib in the India block in protest against the protest march in the Election Commission office, he said that the pole body asked 30 leaders to meet him, but the opposition could not come to the conclusion.
“Even today, he (protest) sought time to go to the Election Commission, and the Election Commission asked the Indie Alliance to send two members from each party. Thirty members were called, but they did not go. In the Indy alliance, they could not decide those 30 people,” he said.
“Now, Kharge ji is saying that all opposition members are VIPs, so 150 people will enter the Election Commissioner’s room? Indi alliance does not trust the Supreme Court, they do not trust the Election Commission, they do not trust Parliament. They attack all constitutional institutions in our country.”
After the Union Minister’s press conference, the budget for Manipur for 2025-26 was introduced in the Rajya Sabha, while the Lok Sabha took the income tax bill for discussion.
Earlier today, the Leader of the Opposition among Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi and other India block MPs was detained by the Delhi Police during the protest march in the ECI office.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and TMC MP Sagarika Ghosh were also among those detained by the police.
The detained MPs were converted into a bus to take them to the Parliament Street Police Station.
Rahul Gandhi said that the fight of the opposition is not a political fight, but a fight to save the Constitution.
“The reality is that they cannot talk. Truth is in front of the country. This fight is not political. This fight is to save the Constitution. This fight is a man, for a vote. We want a clean, pure voters list,” the Congress leader said. (AI)
