The logjam in Parliament.

The opposition got what it wanted....a discussion on Operation Sindoor despite the fact that none of them had the expertise and knowledge of military matters. The government should not have permitted such a discussion where many of the opposition members said a lot of unsavoury things about the armed forces. 

The logjam in Parliament began yesterday as the opposition wants to discuss Sir ( ) in connection with the Election Commission's action on revising Bihar's poll rolls for the Assembly elections. 

The parliamentary Minister has put across the government's decision consequent to the continuing logjam.

Will push Bills in Parliament if opposition protest continues

Government will be compelled to press for the passage of its bills amid protests in Parliament. The warning came as the opposition's relentless disruptions over SIR dimmed the prospects of normal functioning of the two Houses. While the Lok Sabha saw little transaction of any listed business, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned as a mark of respect for its member and ex-Jharkhand CM Shibu Soren who'd passed away.

Will act in national interest

* When the bill has to be passed and the government has no other option, it is passed without  
   discussion
* The government wants a thorough discussion in Parliament but will act in 'national interest'
   if protests continue
* Hit out at the opposition, because they disrupted proceedings when they had agreed to a two-day
   discussion over National Sports Governance Bill and National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill 

My take

And we, the tax payers, pay a huge sum of money to the MPs as allowances, TA/DA etc for taking
part in meaningful discussions to legislate bills during the sessions!


Tailpiece.

Got up at 5, the chores and was on my walk/exercises, within the house, as it was pouring outside.

Fixed up Lekha's appoinment with Dr Jyoshid on Thursday morning.

A quiet day, otherwise.
