Criticism of Opposition's Actions
BJP MP Giriraj Singh expressed his disapproval of the opposition's protests in Parliament on Wednesday, claiming that their actions are merely attempts to attract media attention due to their loss of public support. He further stated that outside the House, they speak against the Speaker, leaving them with no option but to resort to disruptive tactics.
Speaking to reporters, Singh remarked that these individuals only make such statements to garner media coverage, as they have been rejected by the public. He emphasized that outside Parliament, they criticize the Speaker, indicating their lack of substantial arguments.
Congress Party's Protest Against Labor Codes
Earlier today, prominent leaders from the Congress Party, including President Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi, participated in a protest organized by the India Bloc against four labor codes within the Parliament premises. They argued that these codes promote a corporate regime, waving various banners, including a large one that read, "No to Corporate Jungle Raj - Yes to Labor Justice."
This demonstration by the India Bloc followed the government's acceptance of the opposition's repeated demands for discussion. The central government is set to hold discussions on electoral reforms on December 9.
Parliamentary Proceedings and Future Discussions
Meanwhile, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju provided updates on the decisions made during an all-party meeting. Rijiju announced on social media that the meeting, chaired by the Honorable Speaker of the Lok Sabha, decided to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the national song 'Vande Mataram' on December 8 at noon, followed by discussions on electoral reforms on December 9 at noon.
Rijiju later conveyed to the media that he anticipates a constructive discussion. He noted that electoral reforms are a significant issue, and Parliament plays a crucial role in law-making. He emphasized that substantial reforms in the Election Commission and electoral processes require comprehensive consideration by Parliament. He expressed hope for a very engaging and productive discussion, given that an agreement has been reached on the timing and date for the discussions.
