Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has launched a scathing attack on the Modi government, accusing it of “sabotaging” democracy by systematically preventing crucial discussions in Parliament. Her remarks come amidst ongoing disruptions and adjournments during the parliamentary session, with the opposition alleging that the government is stifling their voices.
Priyanka Gandhi has claimed that the government is deliberately blocking discussions on vital issues, thereby undermining the democratic process. She alleges that the government is afraid of facing scrutiny and accountability in Parliament. She has stated that this is a direct attack on the democratic process.
The opposition parties have repeatedly accused the government of avoiding debates on critical matters, including price rise, unemployment, and other pressing issues. They argue that the government is using its majority to suppress dissenting voices and prevent meaningful discussions. The opposition has also raised concerns about the passage of laws without adequate debate.
The government has maintained that it is ready for discussions on all issues, but within the established rules and procedures of Parliament. Government representatives have accused the opposition of creating disruptions and obstructing the functioning of the House. The government often states that they are willing to have conversations, if they are conducted in a peaceful manor.
Recent parliamentary sessions have been marked by frequent disruptions, walkouts, and adjournments, leading to limited productive debate. This has sparked concerns about the effectiveness of Parliament as a platform for democratic discourse.
