Lok Sabha Passes Resolution Condemning Opposition’s Interruptions During PM Modi’s Speech

The Lok Sabha passed a resolution on Tuesday condemning the disruptions by the Opposition during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address. Union minister Rajnath Singh moved the resolution, stating that the Opposition’s actions “shredded” parliamentary norms.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh proposed the resolution after the prime minister’s speech, highlighting the manner in which the Opposition had violated parliamentary norms. Speaker Om Birla also criticized the behavior of the opposition leaders, stating that it was not in line with parliamentary norms.

Home Minister Amit Shah seconded the resolution, which was then passed by a voice vote. The events leading to the resolution included a request by opposition members for an MP from Manipur to speak as soon as the prime minister rose to speak.

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi and two Manipur MPs rushed to the well of the House, followed by several Congress MPs and TMC members standing in the aisles in support. Speaker Birla also criticized Rahul Gandhi for encouraging opposition members to enter the well, while opposition MPs raised slogans during the prime minister’s address.
