Tensions boiled over in India’s lower house as alliance partners of the ruling coalition rebuked opposition MPs for their unruly demonstrations. The focal point was the use of female legislators in confrontational standoffs, which BJP’s Dharmshila Gupta decried as a shameful ploy to demean the Prime Minister.
‘Such exploitation of women betrays the very empowerment initiatives the PM has tirelessly pursued,’ Gupta stated, contrasting government schemes uplifting women with the opposition’s ‘hereditary servants’ antics. She vowed strong condemnation of what she sees as an insult to democracy itself.
Fellow BJP MP Mayankbhai Nayak described the scene as a stain on parliamentary history, insisting that grievances should be aired through proper channels, not by deploying women as frontline agitators hungry for power.
Sakshi Maharaj attributed the chaos to post-poll frustration led by Rahul Gandhi, who allegedly seeks to convert the august House into a chaotic arena. Thankfully, the PM’s absence prevented escalation, he noted gratefully.
Arun Govil sensed a scripted aggression, deeming it abhorrent. TDP’s Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu criticized the influx of protest materials into the chamber, advocating for restraint and tradition within its walls while allowing external expressions of dissent.
Dinesh Sharma mocked the strategy as third-rate, arguing that stalling debates in both Houses achieves nothing but self-inflicted damage to the opposition’s image. As the session progresses, calls for decorum grow louder from the treasury benches, emphasizing the need for mature political discourse in India’s vibrant democracy.
