New Delhi, Dec 1 (NationPress) The Congress party on Monday accused the Central Government of consistently obstructing the Opposition's chance to voice its grievances within Parliament, following the Lok Sabha's adjournment due to ongoing slogan-chanting.

The Winter Session has seen renewed chaos as protests ignited over alleged "vote theft" in the recently held Bihar Assembly elections and the current Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across various states and union territories.

This uproar led to a second adjournment until 2 p.m., ultimately resulting in the House being adjourned for the day.

Post-adjournment, Congress MP and Deputy Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, informed journalists, "It is deeply regrettable that the sanctity of democracy has been compromised. In the temple of democracy, Parliament should discuss matters pertaining to both the ruling party and the Opposition."

He continued, "However, since the very first day, the ruling party appears only interested in discussing their issues. Not a single one of the numerous matters raised by the Opposition was included in today’s agenda. Why invite the Opposition to an all-party meeting to deliberate the business agenda when they have no intention of addressing our concerns? We seek a discussion on the SIR process, yet the government is obstructing us," he added.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned parliamentarians against disorderly conduct, emphasizing that there should be no "drama" in the House and insisting that parliamentary efforts should center on policymaking rather than shouting slogans.

Before the Winter Session, he stated, "There are numerous venues for drama; anyone wishing to engage in it can do so. Here, we should focus on delivering results, not performing. Slogans can be raised anywhere across the nation; you chanted them where you lost, now chant them where you will falter. Our focus here must be on policy, not on slogans."

In response to the Prime Minister's comments, Congress MP Imran Masood strongly disagreed.

"Are we performing a drama? Do they perceive our serious concerns as mere theatrics?" Masood told IANS.

Challenging the ruling party's assertions, Masood stated, "What kind of miraculous outcome do you claim to have achieved that suggests there is no anti-incumbency? If you engage with the public, you will surely hear criticism. Massive crowds are turning out to hear Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, and in Bihar, people are flocking to hear Tejashwi. While their rallies may lack attendance, when the ballots are cast, there will be a significant response. Raise slogans like 'Jai Gyanesh Babu' and 'Jai ECI' in this country and accomplish anything."

The Winter Session of Parliament began on Monday and will extend until December 19, featuring 15 sittings over 19 days.
