Parliament Session Live Updates:
Parliament proceedings will resume today, a day after Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned amid uproar over the opposition INDIA bloc submitting a notice in the Rajya Sabha for moving a no-confidence motion against Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the opposition was forced to table the no-confidence motion against Mr Dhankhar because he is “biggest disruptor” of the Upper House. “His actions have hurt the dignity of India,” Mr Kharge said, as he also stressed there is no “personal fight” against the Rajya Sabha Chairman.
The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday also witnessed disruptions when senior BJP leader JP Nadda demanded a discussion on the alleged Congress-George Soros link.
Today, the government has listed three bills for final consideration and passing in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
Here Are Live Updates On Parliament Winter Session 2024:
Congress MP Vijay Kumar has moved an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha to address the urgent issue of unpaid and irregular stipends for medical interns and residents across India.
He has highlighted complaints of students being underpaid or coerced into paying fees, citing NMC data showing 27% receive no stipend. He has urged the government to ensure fair treatment and safety for medical professionals.
The Congress will shortly hold a meeting at the party Parliamentary Party office to outline its strategy for the floor of the house.
The meeting will be held at around 10:15 am following which the opposition will also hold a protest outside the parliament building.
The opposition was forced to table the no-confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Chair Jagdeep Dhankhar because he is “biggest disruptor” of the Upper House, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said on Wednesday.
“His actions have hurt the dignity of India,” Mr Kharge said, as he also stressed there is no “personal fight” against the Rajya Sabha Chairman.
“We have been compelled to take this step. We have already given a notice. The opposition is here to speak, standing together, on this sensitive issue. I am sad to say the Chairman left us with no option. For three years, he gave us neither time nor space to raise critical issues.”
“We expect protection from the Chairperson… but he keeps gesturing to ruling party MPs to speak. Who will listen to the opposition when the Chair himself defends the government?”
In brief remarks to reporters, Mr Kharge also said the Chair “tries to insult opposition leaders” and “indulges in schooling MPs like a headmaster”. “He is working like the government’s spokesperson… the biggest disruptor of the Rajya Sabha is the Chairperson…”
“… (but the) notice for is not about personal grievances or political battles,” he said.
