12:25 pm:

Shashi Tharoor attacks Narendra Modi on mob lynching cases. Says ‘take action against anti-national, anti Indian element ASAP’.

Raising the issue of violent attacks around the country and also the attack on his constituency office, Shashi Tharoor had said this today in the Parliament,

“..by incendiary elements and their digital equivalents to destroy the idea of India as a pluralistic and accepting democracy. Their victims in recent months have included intellectuals, minorities, various citizens of the country. Yesterday even Swami Agnivesh was attacked.. these are people who have expressed dissent against rising tolerance against today’s India and they are being attacked physically.

In so doing, those who are doing this are disregarding the singular principle of our historic democratic consensus which is that in a diverse democracy like ours you don’t need to agree all the time, so long as you will agree on the ground rules of how you will disagree.

That’s what we have seen today with the no confidence motion, but it is not what we are seeing on the streets where the ground rules of our democracy are being betrayed by those who have been elected by the people of India as the ruling party and they are betraying this basic ground rule. I want to say Mr Deputy Chairman, we cannot and should not stand by as communal violence, mob lynching and hooliganism replace rule of law and rights guaranteed by our constitution.

I strongly urge the PM to break his silence on the behaviour of his party men and take action against these anti-national elements who seek to abridge the freedom of speech in our democracy. Thank you.”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Monsoon Session for the Parliament is going to start from Wednesday and a heated session is mostly expected this time too. As this would be the last Monsoon Session before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, 12 opposition parties have clearly stated that Narendra Modi government will face a ruckus, as they had decided to bring a motion of no-confidence in the Lok Sabha.

As per the sources, opposition parties have issued notices in this regard, but till now Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has not confirmed to receive any such notice, even in the last Parliament session. Though Prime Minister Narendra Modi had sought cooperation from all opposition parties, but the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge had made it clear that they would flag issues related to lynchings by cow vigilantes, safety of women, unemployment, failure of the Centre’s foreign policy, misrule in J&K, plight of farmers, among others.

Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad,  had also called for all anti-BJP allies to discuss on the strategy of the on how to attack the government on issues that matter. On a similar note, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar had called for all party meet to seek cooperation from the parties, so that the Parliament functions properly and its not a washout session.

However, with trend going on for decades for disruptions and the current scenario of the country, it looks like a repeat of washout be seen even today. As only 10 months are left for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, no party leave an opportunity to attack the government and make their presence in the Parliament.
