‘Government should not try to pass any bill by force’: Mallikarjun Kharge wrote a letter to PM Modi, raised big questions


The war of words and tension has once again intensified in the Indian political circles between the central government and the main opposition party Congress. National President of Congress Party and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge Prime Minister of the country Narendra Modi A very strong letter has been written to. Through this letter, Kharge has expressed serious objection to the unusual delay in the prorogation of the monsoon session of Parliament, proposals for new delimitation and attempts to forcibly pass any constitutional amendment bill in Parliament. After this aggressive stance of the opposition, a new earthquake has come in the politics of the national capital.

Questions raised on ‘unprecedented delay’ in adjournment of monsoon session

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has started his letter to Prime Minister Modi with an important issue related to the functioning of Parliament and its rules. He has mentioned in the letter that the monsoon session of Parliament was adjourned indefinitely on August 13 (Adjourned Sine Die). More than 64 days i.e. more than two months have passed since this incident, but despite this, both the Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) have not been officially prorogued yet.

Citing parliamentary history and traditions, Kharge has expressed deep concern and objection over this unprecedented delay. Political experts believe that such a long delay in proroguing the session is not part of the normal process, due to which the opposition is doubting the intentions of the government. The Congress party also alleges that the government wants to run its affairs as per its own rules, keeping aside the democratic norms of Parliament.

All party meeting should be called on new delimitation proposals: Kharge

One of the most important parts of the letter is the issue of the new delimitation process taking place in the country. Mallikarjun Kharge has cautioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi and demanded that the government should call an all-party meeting of all major political parties of the country before moving forward on new delimitation proposals. He stressed that there is a strong need for this comprehensive deliberation before finalizing or ratifying any delimitation proposal in Parliament.

Kharge made it clear that the opposition and all the political parties of the country want to have an open discussion on this sensitive topic of delimitation from every aspect, so that it does not have any adverse impact on the structure of representation and federalism of the states. If the government takes any step in this direction without discussion, it will be strongly opposed inside and outside the Parliament.

Gave strict warning to the government regarding constitutional amendment bills

Mallikarjun Kharge, through his letter, has also cautioned the Modi government that it should not try to pass any kind of Constitutional Amendment Bill in the Parliament forcibly or on the strength of majority. It is noteworthy that even during the last Lok Sabha elections, the opposition had campaigned aggressively alleging that if the Bharatiya Janata Party and NDA alliance gets two-thirds majority, they will make fundamental changes in the Constitution of the country.

Although at that time the Modi government and the top leadership of BJP had made it completely clear that no one is allowed to tamper with or change the basic spirit of the Constitution, yet the opposition seems to be constantly alert on this issue. This letter from Kharge is an indication that the coming Parliament session may see a sharp clash between the ruling party and the opposition on the issues of constitution and legislative reforms.

Jairam Ramesh shared the letter on social media

This sensational letter written by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge to the Prime Minister has been criticized by senior party leaders and General Secretary (Communications). Jairam Ramesh Made public on social media platform ‘X’. While sharing the post, he wrote that Kharge ji has written a letter to the Prime Minister and asked tough questions about the unprecedented delay in the prorogation of the monsoon session of Parliament and the possible future legislative plans of the Modi government.

Since this entire incident came to light, discussions have become heated in political circles. On one hand, the opposition is calling it the dictatorial working style of the government, on the other hand, it will be interesting to see what response the government gives to this letter and in what direction the proceedings of the upcoming Parliament session move forward.
