Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has criticized the government over the lack of discussion in Parliament on what he described as urgent public matters. He argued that the House is meant to reflect public concerns and grievances, not simply function as a place for formal announcements.
Speaking in New Delhi on Monday, Tharoor said important issues affecting citizens should be debated openly in Parliament. His remarks were aimed at the government’s handling of parliamentary business, with the opposition accusing it of avoiding discussion on sensitive topics.
Among the matters he pointed to were the alleged theft of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the NEET exam leak controversy. By raising these examples, Tharoor sought to underline the opposition’s demand for debate on developments that have drawn public attention and concern.
The comments add to the continuing friction between the government and opposition parties over how Parliament is being run. At the center of the dispute is whether the House is allowing enough space for scrutiny and discussion on issues the opposition says are too important to be set aside.
