Fresh salvos fly in Parliament as Congress MP Imran Masood accuses Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla of shirking responsibilities amid an unrelenting no-confidence row. From New Delhi, the MP’s words paint a picture of institutional erosion.
‘The Chair’s dignity is under siege due to internal happenings,’ Masood told reporters. ‘Speakers safeguard traditions; Birla’s inaction betrays that role.’
Pushing for collaborative growth, he added, ‘Nation’s rise demands participation from all. Avoid issue evasion to hide flaws—focus on merits. This House disarray bodes ill for democracy.’
Masood spotlighted General Naravane’s book as overlooked. ‘Its writings warrant House discussion and probes. Government diverts masterfully, banning it while misleading citizens. Prioritize content analysis.’
Reacting to the India-Pakistan cricket fixture, he fumed, ‘Damn Pakistan cricket! Against all post-Pulwama engagements. Dubai match after terror strike? Utter shame. No more games with them.’
As the feud intensifies, Masood’s critique highlights urgent reforms needed in parliamentary oversight, fueling debates on leadership accountability and policy focus in turbulent times.
