Priyanka Gandhi Responds to PM Modi's "Drama" Remark

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement emphasizing "delivery, not drama" in Parliament. Gandhi argues that discussing critical issues is not theatrical, but essential for a functioning democracy.

Gandhi's Rebuttal

โ€œDrama is not allowing discussion, drama is now having a democratic discussion over about that matter to the public,โ€ Gandhi stated in response to Modi's comments.

Key Issues Raised

Gandhi highlighted several pressing issues that she believes Parliament should address:

  • Election situation
  • Special Intensive Roll (SIR)
  • Delhi's air pollution

She questioned the purpose of Parliament if these crucial topics are not debated and discussed openly.

PM Modi's Address

Prior to the commencement of Parliament proceedings, PM Modi stressed the need for "delivery and not drama." He cautioned against the Winter session becoming a platform for expressing frustration from past defeats or arrogance from recent victories.

Opposition's Demands

In an all-party meeting held the day before, the Opposition collectively demanded in-depth discussions on various issues, including:

  • Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls
  • The recent Red Fort blast
  • Air pollution
  • Developments related to the government's foreign policy

The Opposition warned that they would stall parliamentary proceedings if the government refused to engage in these discussions.
