The SC scolded him when he called the PM \u2018chor\u2019, spoke nonsense regarding Rafael, and claimed that China occupied our land. He should speak like an Indian. I am no one to improve Rahul Gandhi,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"dark\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#WATCH<\/a> | Delhi | Union Minister Kiren Rijiju says, \u201cRahul Gandhi kuch bolte hain, unke saare MPs bahot uncomfortable ho jaate hain.

They are afraid that they will speak nonsense, and the party would have to pay the price for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The Union Minister also criticised the Congress party\u2019s conduct during the monsoon session of Parliament, alleging that they had no real interest in debate or discussion. He said many MPs, including some from the Congress and other parties, had approached him privately, saying they were unable to raise issues from their constituencies due to repeated disruptions and adjournments.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">He added that the government was ready for discussion and had repeatedly urged the Opposition to participate, but the disruptions made it difficult for parliamentary work to proceed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cIf the Parliament does not run, the loss is for the Opposition. The government will pass the bills in the national interest. But it is not good if the bills are passed without discussion. We believe in discussion\u2026 The loss is for those who have to ask questions,&#8221; Rijiju noted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">He stressed that the Parliament belongs to the Opposition too, as it is their role to ask questions and hold the government accountable. However, he said that role cannot be fulfilled if the Opposition chooses to walk out or create chaos.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The just-concluded monsoon session of Parliament saw frequent adjournments, with Opposition parties demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar. As a result, the Lok Sabha functioned for only 37 out of 120 available hours, with 31% productivity. Rajya Sabha logged 41 hours and 15 minutes of discussion, with 39% productivity. Despite the disruptions, 15 bills were passed during the session.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><em>(With inputs from ANI)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/news-desk-17918.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">News Desk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The News Desk is a team of passionate editors and writers who break and analyse the most important events unfolding in India and abroad.
