In Parliament, the Opposition continued to put pressure on the Central government over the Pegasus report and agriculture regulations. The Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha were compelled to adjourn due to repeated interruptions. The Opposition has been adamant in calling for a full debate on the Pegasus report and the contentious agriculture laws.
‘It is the duty of the government to run Parliament, and it is not new; under rule 267 permission was granted in 2010, 2011, and 2013 on various issues, and even under the NDA government, permission was granted in 2015 and 2016, but now what is the problem with the government that they are not willing to discuss under 267,” said Mallikarjun Kharge, the Leader of the Opposition while speaking exclusively to The Daily Guardian.
“The government should understand that we are prepared to talk any subject, whether it is a farmer’s concern or a fuel price hike, but when the unified Opposition wants to debate Pegasus, why are they avoiding it?’ Kharge added.
In the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, which began on July 19, the Centre has scheduled at least 23 bills to be introduced in the Lok Sabha. Six legislations have already been introduced.
