During the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, significant disruptions have been caused by the opposition's demands. In response, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stated on Saturday that he has persistently requested both Congress and other opposition parties to permit discussions in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, but to no avail. He expressed his frustration, saying, 'Look, my voice is hoarse. I urge the opposition to allow for a debate.'

In an interview, Rijiju emphasized that in a parliamentary democracy, the opposition plays a crucial role as they can hold the government accountable. He remarked, 'The government is responsible for providing answers. The opposition must ask questions. If those who are supposed to ask questions run away, what can the government do? We are requesting them not to create a ruckus. My voice has gone hoarse from shouting and asking the opposition to refrain from causing disturbances.'

Addressing the opposition's actions, which included tearing up bills related to serious criminal allegations against PMs, CMs, and ministers, the central minister accused them of receiving orders from their party leaders to create chaos and grab headlines.

Rijiju stated, 'I have explained to them multiple times that throwing papers like this is unacceptable. They have crossed all limits. They even came down and snatched the Home Minister's microphone. We told them to shout as much as they want, but to avoid touching anything. If a scuffle occurs, it will tarnish the country's image... Their party leaders have instructed them to go and create a ruckus to make headlines.'

He further criticized Rahul Gandhi, claiming that his statements are merely attempts to gain attention but will not translate into votes. He accused the Congress party of acting against national interests and attacking democracy, asserting that the public would never bring Congress back to power. Rijiju mentioned that Gandhi seems to have received a note instructing him on what to say, leading him to stray off-topic. He also pointed out the Congress's poor performance in the Maharashtra elections and their request to the Election Commission to amend the voter list and remove false names, stating that the figures from Maharashtra were proven incorrect, and now they are seeking apologies.
