A fiery Lok Sabha confrontation saw opposition MPs charge towards the government’s benches, eliciting strong rebuke from Rajya Sabha MP Ram Gopal Yadav of the Samajwadi Party. ‘If true, it’s plain wrong,’ he stated Thursday, prioritizing orderly debate.
The session unraveled under opposition barrage, necessitating several adjournments. Defiant lawmakers stormed ahead to the ruling side’s area, their advance halting PM Narendra Modi’s planned remarks and stalling legislative momentum.
Emphasizing parliamentary ethos, Yadav said, ‘Allow the Prime Minister to speak. Obstruction defies democracy’s purpose: questioning, debating, and resolving.’ His stance underscores calls for mutual respect across aisles.
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari rebutted criticisms, citing legacy. ‘MPs entering the central area during protests is etched in our democratic tapestry—consistent with history,’ he affirmed.
Tiwari sharpened attacks on Modi: ‘Accountable to this House, the PM falters in courage post-trade deals and literary references. Evading the President’s speech response blemishes democracy and belittles the exalted office.’
The showdown lays bare rifts, with opposition demanding accountability on pressing matters while decrying procedural blocks. Stakeholders eye future sessions warily, hoping for dialogue over discord.
