New Delhi, Feb 13 (NationPress) BJP National Spokesperson Nalin Kohli on Thursday vehemently criticized Opposition parties for interrupting proceedings in the Lok Sabha regarding the Waqf Bill. Kohli accused the Opposition of repeatedly seeking chances to create disorder and obstruct the effective operation of Parliament.
In a conversation with IANS, Kohli stated, "There’s a definitive process governing how Parliament functions. For years, the Opposition parties have deliberately sought opportunities to thwart the proceedings. They criticize every issue and persist in questioning the lawmaking process.
"When Parliament enacts a law, it adheres to a prescribed procedure. There is space for discussion and amendments, yet the Opposition has consistently chosen not to participate in that process.
"Rather, they opt for boycotts and disruptions. Does the Opposition not understand that such actions only weaken Parliament's ability to operate? There’s much they wish to express about the Waqf Bill, but disruptive strategies won’t facilitate the completion of legislative work.
Kohli also responded to Congress leader Srinivas BV's social media comment in which he ridiculed the new RSS building, referring to it as a "Sheesh Mahal."
Kohli remarked, "The Congress party is evidently disconnected from the sentiments of Delhi's electorate. They clearly lack a valid political issue, or the ones they bring up simply fail to resonate with the public.
"Their derision of the RSS building as a ‘Sheesh Mahal’ is merely an attempt to generate headlines. They have lost sight of pressing issues. The RSS building was funded by private donations, while another office was established by sants through collective efforts. Equating it to the 'Sheesh Mahal' showcases how desperate Congress has become for attention. The public is not fooled by this, and they’re mocking the situation. The Congress party's status has become a source of ridicule.
Kohli concluded, "The public won’t be misled by such unfounded tactics. Whether Congress aims to gain political advantage from these diversions is their choice, but the reality is evident — their significance in current political discussions is declining.
