New Delhi:
The Centre’s letter to Sonia Gandhi, claiming it was not conventional to tell the Opposition concerning the agenda of a particular session or talk about it, was roundly criticised by Congress’s Jairam Ramesh, who virtually gave a power-point presentation on the variety of instances this has occurred.
In a nine-point submit on X, previously Twitter, Mr Ramesh gave cases of particular periods and conferences in each homes the place the agenda was recognized or mentioned.
The submit was a response of 1 from Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, through which he had accused Sonia Gandhi and the Congress of making an attempt to create a problem “out of nothing”.
“One more determined try by Sonia Gandhi and the Congress Get together to create a problem out of nothing. The federal government has convened the session as per the provisions of the structure and the due process has been adopted,” his submit learn.
Mr Ramesh — who can also be the social gathering’s communications in-charge — claimed the minister was “deceptive” individuals.
“It is just the Modi authorities that’s repeatedly disrespecting the Parliament and subverting parliamentary traditions. Earlier governments — together with yours — have referred to as many particular conferences for Structure Day, Give up India Motion and different such events… The agenda for every explicit session/assembly was recognized prematurely,” he posted.
कितना गुमराह करेंगे जोशी-जी?
प्रत्येक विशेष सत्र/बैठक का एजेंडा पहले से ही पता होता था।
यह सिर्फ़ मोदी सरकार ही है जो लगातार संसद का अपमान कर रही है और संसदीय परंपराओं को विकृत कर रही है।

Earlier immediately, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had urged ministers to avoid the Bharat-India debate, which began after it grew to become recognized that in President Droupadi Murmu’s invite to G20 leaders, she has been described as “President of Bharat”. The following day, a doc surfaced that noticed PM Modi being described because the “Prime Minister of Bharat”.
It capped two days of political sparring between the Congress and BJP over hypothesis that the nation could be renamed on the particular session of parliament due from September 18. The truth that the federal government has not introduced any agenda for the particular session has added to the hypothesis.
The Opposition bloc India accused the BJP-led authorities of “distorting historical past and dividing India”. The Congress stated the federal government was “preserving individuals at nighttime”.
After back-to-back conferences of the Congress and the INDIA bloc yesterday, Sonia Gandhi wrote a nine-point letter to PM Modi immediately, suggesting a lot of topics parliament can talk about on its particular session since no agenda was introduced.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi had written again that Mrs Gandhi is probably “not conscious of traditions,” and asserted that the federal government discusses the agenda with the Opposition solely after the session begins.
