Raising the issue of the China border clash in the Lok Sabha, Opposition parties staged a walkout minutes after the House resumed proceedings. 12 Opposition parties led by the Congress mounted a protest near the Gandhi statue in the Parliament complex demanding a discussion on the India-China border dispute.
Congress’ parliamentary party meeting concluded at the Central Hall in Parliament on Tuesday morning. Sparring between the ruling BJP and the Congress-led Opposition is likely to continue today with the former demanding an apology from Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge over his remarks made in Rajasthan’s Alwar. Meanwhile, Kharge has refused to do so while maintaining that the BJP had no role in the country’s freedom struggle. He insisted that the remarks were made outside Parliament and should not be discussed in the House.
At a rally in Rajasthan on Monday, Kharge claimed that while the Congress stood for the country and helped attain Independence after its leaders gave supreme sacrifices, “not even a dog of the BJP was lost” for the country.
A Congress party meeting is likely to be held, helmed by Sonia Gandhi at 9:30 am and the party is likely to launch a tighter attack on the Centre, as per sources. Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Kharge has also reportedly called like-minded Opposition leaders to protest in front of the Gandhi statue at 10:15 am to demand a discussion on Chinese border transgressions. Leaders from 12 parties are likely to participate, as per reports.
Meanwhile, Home Minister Amit Shah is set to reply on a discussion in Lok Sabha under rule 193 on the problem of drug abuse in the country and steps taken by the government to curb it.
Both Houses of Parliament witnessed chaotic scenes on Tuesday as the Opposition demanded a discussion on the India-China border situation. So far, the clash between India and China in Arunachal Pradesh has been in focus in Parliament.
