Rahul Gandhi Loksabha / 'I am not being allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha'- Rahul Gandhi made a big allegation

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi made a big allegation and said that he is not being allowed to speak. He claimed that in a democracy there should be a place for the opposition, but here only the government is heard. The Speaker advised the MPs to improve their conduct.

Rahul Gandhi Loksabha: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has made a big allegation. He says that he is not being allowed to speak in the House. Rahul Gandhi raised this issue and said that as per a tradition, the Leader of Opposition has the right to put forth his point, but whenever he stands up, he is stopped. He also questioned how the Lok Sabha is being conducted.

What did Rahul Gandhi say?

Rahul Gandhi said, "We are not allowed to say what we want to say. I have not done anything wrong, I was sitting very peacefully. In a democracy, both the government and the opposition have their own roles, but this is not seen here. There is no place for the opposition, only the government is being heard."

He also told that recently Prime Minister Narendra Modi had talked about the Kumbh Mela in the Lok Sabha. He wanted to add his point to it and wanted to speak on a serious issue like unemployment, but he was not given the opportunity.

Speaker's advice and the atmosphere of the House

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha has also recently given advice regarding the conduct of MPs. Two days ago, Rahul Gandhi along with his sister Priyanka Gandhi had greeted in a unique way, to which the Speaker objected.

After this incident, Congress MPs raised the issue in the House that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi comes to the House, all the BJP MPs stand up, which is against the functioning of the House. The opposition also objected to this and called it against democratic values.

Question on the role of the opposition in democracy

These allegations of Rahul Gandhi have sparked a debate on the role and independence of the opposition in Indian democracy. Is the opposition really being suppressed, or is this just a political strategy? This question has now become a topic of discussion across the country.
