Did two minutes of silence in Lok Sabha on the Emergency write the script for wasting hours in Parliament?

New Delhi: In the Lok Sabha elections, BJP gave the slogan ‘Abki Baar 400 Paar’ and the opposition propagated among the voters that if Modi government returns, this time the Constitution will be crushed and reservation will be abolished. This narrative of the opposition worked well at least in Uttar Pradesh which has the maximum number of 80 Lok Sabha seats. There, the opposition unexpectedly gained a big lead and BJP was reduced to just 33 seats. The Congress party and especially Rahul Gandhi are very excited by this. As part of their plan to keep playing on the narrative of ‘Threat to the Constitution in the Modi government’, they also reached the Parliament with a copy of the Constitution. Not only Rahul, but MPs of Congress and other opposition parties took oath of office with a copy of the Constitution in their hands. But on Wednesday, when BJP won the Lok Sabha Speaker’s election, the matter turned around. Om Birla, who had just sat on the Lok Sabha Speaker’s chair, strongly condemned the Emergency in his/her first statement. Birla not only read a long article but also observed two minutes of silence. This was like rubbing salt on the wounds of the Congress party. Within a short span of time, it had to face a huge defeat on two fronts. First, it had to withdraw its candidature for the post of Lok Sabha Speaker, then in its attempt to corner the Modi government on the constitutional front, it had to face defeat by getting trapped in the censure motion on the Emergency.

Silence in the house, sloganeering outside

Since the opposition led by Congress is in a mood to take a more aggressive stand in the Parliament this time, the ruling party also became aggressive as soon as it got the opportunity. NDA MPs raised slogans inside and outside the House against the Emergency imposed in the country during the previous Indira Gandhi government. They demonstrated by waving banners and posters, showing solidarity. This is enough to put not only the Congress but also its allies on the back foot. Actually, the Emergency is such a blot on the Constitution for which the Congress has no answer. Especially in response to the chant of protecting constitutional values, the BJP told the Congress that it is not appropriate to give advice to someone who has murdered the Constitution. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also laid great emphasis on the Emergency in his/her address to the media before reaching the Lok Sabha on the first day of the Parliament session on Monday.

We always know that day of 25 June 1975 as a black chapter in the history of India. On this day, the then PM Indira Gandhi imposed emergency in the country and fiercely attacked the Constitution made by Baba Saheb Ambedkar. India is known all over the world as the mother of democracy. Democratic values ​​and debate have always been supported in India, democratic values ​​have always been protected and always encouraged. Dictatorship was imposed on such an India by Indira Gandhi, India’s democratic values ​​were crushed and freedom of expression was strangled.

Om Birla, Speaker of Lok Sabha

Chirag Paswan hits back at Rahul Gandhi

Today, when Rahul Gandhi, while congratulating Om Birla on being elected Lok Sabha Speaker for the second time, reminded him/her of his/her duties and decorum, the reply came from Chirag Paswan. Chirag, who is the president of LJP (Ram Vilas) and calls himself PM Modi’s Hanuman, advised Rahul that while speaking on constitutional decorum, parliamentary traditions and the conduct of the ruling and opposition parties in the House, he/she should look into his/her own self. he/she said that to a large extent, the behaviour of the opposition decides what decision the Chair will take. he/she responded in detail to the issues raised by Rahul Gandhi. Now it is the turn of the Congress Party and the rest of the opposition. The Lok Sabha Speaker adjourned the proceedings of the House after the condemnation motion on the Emergency was passed. Now what will happen if the debate starts again in the Lok Sabha after the President’s address on Thursday?

Will the ‘wounded’ opposition become more aggressive now?

It is difficult to give a definite answer to this, but now there is a greater apprehension that the opposition, which has made up its mind to surround the government on other issues including rigging in NEET-UG examination, will now adopt an even more aggressive stance as soon as it gets the opportunity. This will affect the proceedings of the House and both the houses of Parliament will keep getting stalled. The scene inside the Lok Sabha has changed compared to the last 10 years. This time the gallery of the opposition is greener. Now the difference in the number of MPs between the ruling party and the opposition has come down to 59. So this time the noise of the opposition will be louder and the ruling party will have to face difficulty in taking the proceedings of the House forward.

The noise of two minutes of silence will be heard soon

The opposition camp and especially the Congress party is very excited with the success of increasing its seats in the Lok Sabha and preventing the BJP from getting a majority. The morale of other major opposition leaders including former Congress president Rahul Gandhi is seen to be at its peak. India Block has been looking aggressive since the first day of the Parliament session. It put a condition of giving the post of Deputy Speaker in exchange for consensus on the post of Lok Sabha Speaker and tried to create a narrative that if the opposition’s demand is not met, then the Modi government will prove to be dictatorial. Rahul Gandhi himself had severely criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday. It is a different matter that he/she had to change his/her attitude in the absence of being able to balance the equation. But the way the ruling party has given him/her a fresh wound on the issue of Emergency, something will definitely come in return in some form or the other. What? It remains to be seen. Right now it seems that the two minutes of silence in condemnation of the Emergency has written a script to waste hours in Parliament.
