Trinamool Congress Criticizes Government's Control Over Parliamentary Time

Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien criticizes the Union government's dominance in Parliament during the Monsoon session, stating it benefits from a lack of functionality. He argues for more time allocation to the Opposition, suggesting a fair distribution of hours to ensure accountability.

Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien has taken a strong stance against the Union government, alleging it benefits from the current dysfunctionality in Parliament.

In a brisk critique posted on X, the TMC's Rajya Sabha frontman claimed two days of the Monsoon session were lost, placing the blame squarely on the government's shoulders. O'Brien emphasized that with Parliament's impact diminished, accountability is similarly diluted.

He advocates reallocating parliamentary hours to better serve Opposition parties, proposing dedicated time for urgent public discussion to ensure government accountability.
