Lok Sabha deadlock ended on appeal of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.
The question hour in the Lok Sabha could not be held due to the uproar of the opposition but after the consensus reached in the discussion between the leaders of all parties, the deadlock of the House ended on Rajnath Singh’s appeal.
The Defense Minister said that the President addresses the joint session of both the Houses in the budget session. After this, there has been a healthy tradition of passing a vote of thanks in Parliament on the first address.
Regardless of the government of any party, its first task is to pass this resolution. This vote of thanks in Rajya Sabha has been passed after debate.
Rajnath said – We do not mind if the opposition speaks on the issue of anti-agricultural law farmers.
Rajnath said that in order to maintain the tradition of our vibrant democracy, the proposal should be passed unanimously in the Lok Sabha also by arguing it.
He said that the leaders of all parties also sincerely want to maintain the vibrancy of our tradition of democracy. The President is also a part of the Parliament. Therefore, no institution should be disregarded.
It is the responsibility of the members of all parties. Rajnath said that that is why, with folded hands, he appeals not to break this tradition and we have no objection if the opposition speaks openly on the issue of anti-agricultural law farmers.
Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary said – the opposition cannot remain silent on the plight of farmer agitators.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary said that he has no personal demand to raise the issue of farmers against anti-agriculture law.
The opposition cannot remain silent on the plight of the agitators who have been struggling for months on the borders of Delhi. The opposition is raising their voice for the liveliness of tradition and democracy.
As far as tradition is concerned, our country has never let tradition break. After discussing the issue of farmers separately, we wanted to honor them, but our voice was suppressed on the strength of the majority.
The government should be besieged by participating in the debate of the thanksgiving motion.
However, before this, a meeting was held with former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on the issue of the deadlock of the leaders of the opposition camp in Parliament House.
There was an opinion that the government should be besieged by participating in the debate of vote of thanks. After this, the opposition ended the deadlock.
