Parliament Budget Session Updates | Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju says Rahul Gandhi does not speak

"I have already given my reply. Even we are tired of waiting again and again—he (Rahul Gandhi) simply does not speak. We waited for two days. Others also deserve a chance to speak. Speaking cannot be done at one’s own will—this is the Parliament of India. Here, one must speak according to the rules," Rijiju said.

Parliament Budget Session Updates | Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi says there is a fundamental issue with democracy and how the Parliament works

"He (Rahul Gandhi) was quoting from a published source, and he even authenticated the source yesterday, so what is the harm in speaking about it? Whenever the ruling side gives speeches, they too quote from books and magazines. This is not just a case of the Leader of the Opposition not being allowed to speak, it is a fundamental issue of democracy and the way Parliament works. Discussions on China, foreign affairs, and Pakistan have always taken place in Parliament. Whether it is the opposition or the government, everyone has traditionally been allowed to present their side... They are afraid of what might come out. They have not allowed this book to be published. The book contains material that reveals the Prime Minister’s response during times of crisis," said Priyanka Gandhi

Parliament Budget Session Updates | Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi lashes out at BJP ahead of the session

"What is new here? You see this happening in every session. They are doing it even more now...It is not just a case of LoP not being allowed to speak; it is a fundamental issue of democracy and of the way the Parliament works. Parliament is the temple of democracy...What is the problem if someone presents their views? They are scared of what would come out of it. They did not allow the publication of the book. As far as I know, the book has things that show the reaction of PM, HM and Defence Minister and our top leadership in the face of crisis. This clearly shows their character and that of their Govt, that when the country is being attacked and Chinese troops are coming to our border, how they are reacting," Priyanka Gandhi said.

"Rahul Gandhi is the LoP. He is the voice of everyone who voted against the BJP. If he wants to raise people's voice in the Parliament, something related to national security, the BJP and the Treasury Bench should not raise such hue and cry...It is a conspiracy to stifle Opposition's voice. If the truth comes out before the people of the country, BJP feels its so-called image of Vishwaguru will suffer a dent. The country is not in safe hands and public will get to know the truth. So, BJP is rattled," he said.
