No more ruckus in Parliament over Election Commission! Rijiju warns opposition

Rijiju said in a press conference that any dispute between the Election Commission and political parties should be discussed directly in the Election Commission, not in Parliament. He further said that the issue between the Election Commission and the Congress party should be discussed in the Election Commission, not in Parliament. We are not spokespersons of the Election Commission.

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday called upon the Congress and other opposition parties to avoid creating disruptions in Parliament over issues related to the Election Commission. Rijiju said in a press conference that any dispute between the Election Commission and political parties should be discussed directly in the Election Commission, not in Parliament.

He further said that the issue between the Election Commission and the Congress party should be discussed in the Election Commission, not in Parliament. We are not spokespersons of the Election Commission. The Election Commission is an autonomous body and we cannot respond on their behalf. He urged the opposition not to create “ruckus” over issues related to the Election Commission.

Rijiju said that as far as Congress and other political parties are concerned, they created a ruckus in the House on the issue of Election Commission. I request them not to create a ruckus during this discussion. Rijiju also announced that Parliament will hold a special discussion in honor of Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and his recent space journey to the International Space Station (ISS) under India’s space mission. Rijiju said that today in Parliament we are going to honor Captain Shubhanshu Shukla through a special discussion. We will discuss his space journey and India’s space mission in detail.

He hoped that members of all parties would participate positively, as bipartisan support was seen in the recent discussion on Operation Sindoor. He said that I hope that just as members of all parties participated in the discussion on Operation Sindoor, in the same way all parties will congratulate Captain Shubhanshu Shukla and Indian scientists and will also participate in this discussion. Shukla, who returned to Earth on July 15 after completing NASA’s Axiom-4 (AX-4) space mission, reached Delhi early Sunday.
