The INDIA bloc meeting convened by Leader of Opposition, Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge’s office decided not to make ‘the Adani issue‘ the sole focus of the Opposition protests in Parliament during the session.
Instead, they will raise other issues such as renewed violence in Manipur, inflation and other matters on a rotational basis in the coming days, they said. The SP wants to raise the Sambhal violence. The Opposition also protested against the “non-inclusion” of Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi among the speakers at Tuesday’s Central Hall event on the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution, by saying that the President, Vice-President and “also the Prime Minister” will address the gathering. Opposition MPs have already communicated this grievance in a letter to the Speaker.
“In the past, the government used our protest to skirt debating key issues and legislative business. We won’t allow them to get away now,” said an INDIA bloc floor leader.
