NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Deputy Priyanka Gandhi Vadra claimed on Saturday that the central government is not allowing a discussion in Parliament, days after Rahul Gandhi made similar statements that he wanted to address the problems related to the Maha Kumbh Mela And unemployment in the House of Representatives, but was “arrested” to do so.
Wayanad’s deputy said the ruling NDA has been “sabotaging” parliament by “using different methods not to let the democratic process to work “.
“The Government (central) is not allowing discussion in Parliament. They are using different methods not to prevent the democratic process from working. It is sad that US parliamentarians see. The opposition used to be accused of sabotaging the Parliament, but it is new that they themselves sabote the process,” said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to the PTI news agency on his visit to Wayanad.
Previously, Rahul Gandhi had affirmed that President Om Birla made a “founding comment” about him before abruptly postponing the house.
Expressing his frustration, Gandhi accused the speaker of avoiding his requests.
“I don’t know what is happening. I asked him to let me talk, but he simply escaped. This is not the way to direct the house,” Gandhi said.
“It is a convention that the Opposition leader He is given time to speak. Every time I stand up, I stop. I did nothing bad, I was sitting in silence. Here, there is no place for democracy. There is only room for the government, “he added.
The Om Birla speaker, who addresses the matter, reminded Gandhi to maintain the parliamentary decorum.
“It is expected that you defend the high standards of the Chamber. There have been several cases in which the behavior of the parliamentarians has reached these standards. I hope that the opposition leader will follow the rules,” said Birla.
