Kanhaiya Kumar Targets PM Modi, Opposition Demands SIR Discussion in Parliament

In a pointed critique, Congress leader and former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar lambasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of avoiding crucial political debates. Kumar's attack precedes Modi's visit to the United Kingdom, amplifying tensions between the government and the opposition.

Opposition demands are mounting for the Prime Minister to address the nation, especially concerning pressing issues like the Pahalgam terror attack and the contentious Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise by the Election Commission in Bihar. These demands echo through the corridors of Parliament amidst repeated adjournments.

While the opposition continues to press for discussions regarding alleged voter suppression, the BJP counters by accusing them of disrupting legislative proceedings. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju urged calm, stating the government's willingness to engage in discussions, urging the opposition not to waste public resources.
