To Turn Attention from Special Session: Jairam on Monsoon Session
The Centre has recently announced the dates for the Monsoon session of Parliament, scheduled to begin from July 21 to August 12. Reacting to this development, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has stated that the move is an attempt to divert attention from the Opposition’s demand for a special session on Operation Sindoor. According to Ramesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be able to escape a special session, but he cannot escape the scrutiny that comes with the Monsoon session.
Operation Sindoor is a matter of great concern, and the Opposition has been demanding a special session to discuss the issue. However, the Centre has so far been reluctant to heed to these demands, and instead has announced the dates for the Monsoon session. Ramesh’s comments suggest that the government is trying to shift the focus away from the Operation Sindoor controversy and onto more mundane parliamentary proceedings.
The Monsoon session is typically a time for the government to introduce new bills and policies, and for the Opposition to hold the government accountable. However, in this case, the Opposition is likely to use the Monsoon session as an opportunity to raise the issue of Operation Sindoor and demand answers from the government.
Operation Sindoor is a sensitive topic, and the government’s handling of the issue has been widely criticized. The operation, which involves the transfer of funds from the Centre to the states, has been accused of being opaque and prone to corruption. The Opposition has been demanding greater transparency and accountability in the operation, and has accused the government of trying to cover up the truth.
Ramesh’s comments suggest that the Opposition is unlikely to let the government off the hook easily. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi can run away from a special session, but he cannot run away from the Monsoon session,” Ramesh stated. This implies that the Opposition will continue to press the government for answers on Operation Sindoor, even if it means using the Monsoon session to do so.
The Centre’s decision to announce the dates for the Monsoon session instead of a special session on Operation Sindoor has been widely criticized by the Opposition. The Congress party, in particular, has been vocal in its criticism of the government’s handling of the issue. Ramesh’s comments suggest that the party will continue to push for greater transparency and accountability on Operation Sindoor, even if it means using the Monsoon session to do so.
In conclusion, the Centre’s announcement of the dates for the Monsoon session is likely to be met with resistance from the Opposition. Ramesh’s comments suggest that the Opposition will use the Monsoon session to raise the issue of Operation Sindoor and demand answers from the government. The government’s handling of the issue has been widely criticized, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to the Opposition’s demands.
