In a heated parliamentary session, Congress MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring criticized BJP MP Jagdambika Pal for stifling the opposition's opportunity to speak during Zero Hour. This complaint arose after opposition members protested ongoing electoral roll changes in Bihar, resulting in disruptions and claims of 'vote theft'.
Warring alleged a disparity in speaking time, noting that while government MPs were granted substantial time, the opposition struggled to voice concerns, fearing threats to democracy and constitutional practices. He emphasized that the ongoing 'vote theft' in Bihar underscores these threats.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju rebuffed these accusations, condemning the opposition's unruly behavior in the Lok Sabha, specifically the act of throwing paper. BJP's Jagdambika Pal, meanwhile, pointed fingers at Congress's Deputy Leader, accusing them of orchestrating the disorder, escalating tensions further.
