Lucknow, 19 July (HS): The monsoon session of Parliament is
scheduled to begin on July 20. Regarding this, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)
national president Mayawati has expressed concern that, given the current
situation in the country, the Parliament session will once again be marred by
uproar and adjournments.
The BSP president posted on X on Sunday, “country is
agitated by issues such as rising inflation, poverty, unemployment, women's
insecurity, and paper leaks for important examinations. Widespread public
outrage, particularly over the embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Shri
Ram Temple, has shaken Uttar Pradesh and the country. The issue is resonating
from the streets to the courts, and it will undoubtedly become a hot topic in
Parliament, which is also being closely watched. The opposition will also
corner the government on these issues.”
Instead of creating uproar and adjournments in Parliament,
the government should respond to these issues, which are also being keenly
watched by the people. She further stated that the situation following the
general assembly elections in Bengal, the deaths of pregnant women in Rajasthan
due to government negligence, the increasing insecurity of women in various
states, the massive irregularities in the hastily distributed election campaigns,
the notorious corruption in government schemes, the prevalence of police
encounters, the demolition of colonies of people settled there for years, etc.,
have eroded the Constitution's public welfare system, and the ongoing US-Israel
war against Iran, which is severely affecting India's economy and people's
lives, and the devaluation of the rupee, are such significant issues of
national and public interest.
Both the ruling party and the opposition must abandon
political hatred, self-interest, narrow-mindedness, and animosity, and work
together to find a solution and do commendable work. Otherwise, the lives of
the Bahujans in our country, with a population of approximately 1.4 billion,
will become even direr, leaving their future hanging in the balance, as is
feared. Therefore, keeping in mind these grave challenges plaguing the country
and the warnings against them, it should be ensured that the monsoon session of
Parliament runs smoothly, peacefully, and in accordance with healthy democratic
traditions, without any provocation, anger, or hostility. This, in keeping with
the urgent need of the hour, also becomes everyone's responsibility.
The BSP chief said that in this regard, all institutions
must strive to ensure that the burdens and daily troubles of Indians, already
suffering from the country's difficult social, political, and economic
conditions, do not increase. In this regard, Parliament must be fully serious
and sensitive about these pressing national issues, and it would be best if
this began with the current monsoon session. Effective Parliament is essential
for public-friendly good governance.
