NEW DELHI: The opening day of the Parliament session, Congress opened a three-pronged attack against Modi’s government, accusing it of mishandling pandemic and to introduce three agricultural ordinances to weaken farmers and leave them at the mercy of business. He also demanded a discussion on Chinese aggression while seeking the government’s response on reports of Chinese surveillance from India across the industry.
Juxtaposing the growing Corona infections with the famous photograph of the Prime Minister feeding a peacock, leader of Congress Rahul gandhi He took to Twitter to investigate Narendra Modi.
“The corona infection figures will cross 50 lakhs this week and 10 million active cases. The unplanned blockade is the product of one person’s ego that spreads the crown across the country. Modi’s government said that everyone should be self-sufficient, that is, save your life yourself because PM is busy with the peacocks, ”he said in a post full of sarcasm.
On the opening day at Lok Sabha, the party leadership of Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Gaurav Gogoi strongly protested against the denial of the discussion on the Chinese incursion, as well as against the three ordinances passed by the government during the shutdown as “agricultural reforms.” With Rahul Gandhi later weighing the issues via Twitter, Congress pretty much set its agenda for the current session.
“Farmers are the only ones who buy at retail and sell their products at wholesale prices. The three ‘black’ ordinances of the Modi government are a fatal attack on peasant agricultural workers so that they do not obtain the MSP and their rights, and farmers are forced to sell their land to the capitalists. Another Modi conspiracy against farmers, ”Rahul tweeted, while Center prepares to bring legislation to replace the three ordinances.
China was also high on the party’s agenda, as Chowdhury repeatedly tried to raise the Ladakh showdown in the lower house. Gogoi later told reporters that it was disappointing that the defense minister did not respond to the issue or clarify when a discussion will start.
AICC spokesman Randeep Surjewala asked the government to clarify the reports on Chinese surveillance of India. He asked why the Modi government was repeatedly “failing” on the national security front.
Congressional demand for a debate on China will be addressed at the business advisory committee meeting of both houses on Tuesday.
