Today is the fifth day of the second phase of the budget session of Parliament. The first four days were marred by the uproar over Rahul Gandhi’s speech in London and the Adani case. Rahul Gandhi can give clarification on his London speech on Friday. On Thursday, he met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and sought time for speech in the House.
Parliament did not function even on Thursday
The proceedings of the Parliament were marred by uproar on Thursday as well. As soon as the proceedings of Parliament started at 11 am, both the Houses were adjourned till 2 pm. When the proceedings started in the afternoon, once again there was an uproar, both the Houses were adjourned for the day.
Earlier, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said that if Rahul Gandhi insults the country, then as an Indian, we cannot remain silent. He said that Rahul should apologize in this matter. On this, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that PM Modi has also gone abroad many times and spoken against the country. In such a situation, the question does not arise that Rahul should apologize for his statement.
On Thursday, in a press conference, Rahul Gandhi had asked Prime Minister Modi what was his relation with Adani.
Rahul Gandhi said- PM is scared on Adani issue, he will not allow me to speak in Parliament
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has given clarification regarding the speech given in London. He said on Thursday that there was nothing in my speech that I did not extract from the public record. Everything was collected from here and there. This whole thing is to distract. Actually, the Prime Minister is scared of the Adani issue. They should tell what is their relation with Adani.
Rahul Gandhi said all these things in the press conference. Also said that I will answer in detail in Parliament on the issue of the speech given in London. I am an MP and Parliament is my platform. Rahul said that Adani is getting contracts in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Australia. The PM could not answer what happened between the Prime Minister and the Australian PM.
I am a member of the Lok Sabha. It is my responsibility to keep my point in the Parliament. If I get a chance to speak in Parliament tomorrow, I will present my views on this subject in detail there. However, it seems they will not allow me to speak in the Parliament House.
Earlier, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi arrived on Thursday to attend the proceedings of Parliament. Rahul spoke to the media regarding his statement in London. He said- I had not said anything against India in London. If I get a chance to speak in Parliament, I will keep my point. He further said that the BJP does not like my speaking.
In Delhi on Thursday, Congress workers protested against the central government over the Adani dispute and several other issues.
