Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O’Brien has slammed the central government, accusing it of “running away” from holding a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor and other critical national security issues. His remarks come after the government announced the Monsoon Session from July 21 to August 12, rejecting opposition demands for an immediate special session.
🔴 Key Developments:
- O’Brien coined the term “Parliamentophobia”, describing the government’s “morbid fear” of facing Parliament.
- Opposition parties, including Congress, DMK, Shiv Sena (UBT), CPI(M), and RJD, had written to PM Narendra Modi, demanding a special session to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s military response.
- Union Minister Kiren Rijiju defended the government, stating that “every session is a special session” and that all issues can be discussed in the Monsoon Session.
📢 Political Fallout:
- O’Brien alleged that the government announced the Monsoon Session 45 days in advance to avoid the special session demand.
- Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused the government of keeping Parliament in the dark while briefing foreign nations and media about Operation Sindoor.
- INDIA bloc parties continue to push for a special session, arguing that national security concerns require immediate parliamentary debate.
⚠️ What’s Next?
- Opposition leaders are expected to intensify their demand, possibly disrupting the Monsoon Session.
- The government maintains that all critical issues can be addressed in July, dismissing claims of avoiding scrutiny.
