Congress Accuses Govt of Avoiding Discussion on Adani Indictment, Sambhal Violence

GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 2nd Dec. The Congress on Monday accused the treasury benches of “running away” from a discussion in Parliament on key issues like the Adani indictment and the recent violence in Sambhal. The party alleged that the government was deliberately preventing Parliament from functioning.

Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned on Monday amid continued protests by opposition members. The opposition demanded an immediate discussion on the indictment of industrialist Gautam Adani in a U.S. court on bribery charges and the violence in Sambhal, which resulted in the deaths of four people.

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh, in a statement, said, “Today too, both Houses got adjourned. INDIA parties had given notices for an immediate discussion on Adani, Manipur, Sambhal, and Ajmer. These parties never agitated, and there was hardly any sloganeering. But the Modi government simply did not want Parliament to function.”

Ramesh further remarked, “The situation is truly extraordinary. The Opposition wants a discussion, but the government is running away from it.”

The opposition INDIA bloc parties also expressed their desire for a two-day discussion on the Constitution, marking the 75th anniversary of its adoption on November 26. However, Ramesh pointed out that the Modi government had yet to notify the dates for this much-anticipated debate.
