Kiren Rijiju Criticizes Opposition for Avoiding Parliamentary Debates Amid Deadlock
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju expressed frustration over the ongoing deadlock in Parliament, accusing the Opposition of avoiding debates despite the government's repeated offers for open discussions. He highlighted an unprecedented reversal of roles where the government seeks dialogue while the Opposition refuses to engage. BJP leaders, including Nitin Nabin, echoed criticism of the Opposition's disruptions. The government, supported by Home Minister Amit Shah's appeal to the Lok Sabha Speaker, maintains readiness for detailed debates on issues like the NEET examination, while the Opposition demands responses on protests and allegations.
