NEW DELHI: In a recent Rajya Sabha session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized opposition parties for disrupting parliamentary proceedings. He accused them of trying to control the House through chaos, rather than fostering productive debates. Modi argued that such disruptions were harmful to Parliament’s functioning and the legislative process.
The Prime Minister pointed out that many opposition members responsible for these disruptions had been repeatedly rejected by voters in elections. Despite their electoral defeats, they continued to disrupt the House, which Modi said undermines the democratic process and the credibility of Parliament, which should focus on national issues.
Modi stressed the importance of maintaining a smooth and productive parliamentary process. While acknowledging the right of members to raise issues, he condemned attempts to create disruptions for political gain. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to preserving meaningful dialogue within Parliament.
His comments were likely a direct response to the ongoing protests and disturbances staged by opposition parties in recent sessions. Modi’s speech highlighted the tension between the ruling and opposition parties over the effectiveness of parliamentary debates and the role of the opposition in shaping legislation.
