New Delhi: Politics has started heating up after the cancellation of the Question Hour in the Monsoon Session of Parliament starting on September 14 amid Corona crisis. Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien has expressed displeasure over the cancellation of the Question Hour.
The first hour is usually devoted to the Question Hour in the House. In this, MPs question the government about any information or scheme etc. Questions are also asked about the development work from the government. It has been canceled this time.
Congress MP and former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor said on Wednesday, “I said four months ago that powerful leaders would make an epidemic excuse to suppress democracy and disagreement. Notification for Parliament session was issued, announcing that There will be no question hour. In the name of keeping us safe, it can be justified like this?
Expressing displeasure, Rajya Sabha MP Derek O’Brien tweeted on Wednesday morning that democracy was being murdered on the pretext of an epidemic. He tweeted, ‘MPs have to send questions 15 days in advance for the Question Hour in Parliament. The session starts on 14 September and the Question Hour has been canceled? Opposition MPs’ rights to ask questions have disappeared. For the first time since 1950? The working hours of Parliament are like before, then why was the Question Hour canceled? Democracy is being murdered with the excuse of epidemic. ‘
