Following the BJP’s aggressive stand in Parliament, the Congress party has come down strongly by writing a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla, pointing out the distortions made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi while communicating during the debate on the motion of thanks to the President’s speech.
The main opposition party has also claimed foul over Hamirpur MP and ex-Union minister Anurag Thakur’s speech in the lower house. The Congress’s action comes in the wake of protests over Rahul Gandhi’s Leader of the Opposition speech, in which parts of it were laundered out, and the BJP gave a notice against all the anomalies.
Many Indian Congress MPs, including Manickam Tagore, have formally written a letter to the Speaker and enforced the use of standard operating procedures to counter Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Anurag Thakur for delivering factually incorrect, inaccurate, and misleading statements.
The Congress has countered Thakur’s intimation that Indian forces were capable prior to 2014 and the Government of India’s stance that 25 crore people have been lifted out of poverty. The party has also disagreed with the PM over what it terms the falsehood that it lost the vote share in 16 states.
The Congress’s letter infers that the Parliament sessions may be precipitated into disruptions because the rejuvenated main opposition, sanguine of its recent electoral verdicts, has a new battle-ax to grind with the BJP, which, for the first time, has entered into power with the support of its allies.
