Floor leaders of opposition parties will meet on Tuesday at 10 am in the office of Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge to chalk out their strategy for the second day of the monsoon session of Parliament.
Opposition floor leaders meet regularly during a Parliament session to chalk out their strategy. The Monsoon session had a stormy start on Monday with opposition members raising their demands concerning the NEET-UG paper leak case and Ram Mandir donatation embezelment case. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha faced repeated disruptions and were later adjourned for the day. Opposition leaders attacked the government and raised their demands. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his remarks to the media ahead of the monsoon session, highlighted national and international achievements over the past month and expressed immense pride in the country's rising global stature. Recalling how an Indian citizen reached the International Space Station just prior to last year's session, he celebrated the recent historical milestone by the private space startup Skyroot. Lauding the incredible fact that a team with an average age of merely 28 successfully propelled the nation into a new era of private space exploration, he emphasized how these achievements significantly boost national confidence. "These startups driven by our youth have firmly embedded India's flag in space, making our country's profile universal and accepted across the globe," he said. Tracing the root cause of these unprecedented entrepreneurial triumphs, the Prime Minister credited the government's rapid and transformative policy changes. Congress President and Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge criticised PM Modi's remarks ahead of the Monsoon Session, accusing him of trying to divert attention from key issues. "PM Modi's only job is to taunt others and make snide remarks. First, prove your own credibility to the people. Where did that '56-inch chest' of yours go? You criticise others today, but I ask: what have you actually done for the country? You told your followers to form a trust so they could engage in theft, and now they are stealing rampantly. You enacted the laws and nominated the people for the Ram Mandir Trust, and your own people are involved in it. Then there is the NEET issue; lakhs of students are in distress, having left their homes and facing utter ruin. Who is responsible for destroying their lives?" Kharge asked. The monsoon session of Parliament will continue till August 13. (ANI)
