\n New Delhi [India], March 24 (ANI):
\n congress
\n -mp”>Congress MP
\n Shashi Tharoor
\n criticized the governing body on Monday for interrupting
\n Parliament
\n and stated that the concern brought up by the government is “irrelevant” since it falls under state jurisdiction.\n <\/p>\n

\n It is incredibly surprising when you observe that the governing party, which fundamentally acts as the government responsible for managing parliamentary affairs, has opted to obstruct proceedings.
\n Parliament
\n In this manner, it is profoundly disheartening. In my opinion, the matter they’ve brought up is not pertinent since it falls under state jurisdiction… It is unrelated to central matters.
\n Parliament
\n “Why are they attempting to disturb the House over that issue?” Tharoor said to ANI.\n <\/p>\n

\n “Honestly, we are reducing
\n Parliament
\n Into a farce. If we fail to operate effectively, why would voters wish to hand over their valuable taxes to support an organization that was once revered as the sanctuary of democracy? Should our debates descend into yelling contests rather than respectful discussions, it truly would be disheartening,\u201d he remarked.\n <\/p>\n

\n A commotion broke out within a few minutes of the session starting in the Rajya Sabha.
\n Karnataka
\n Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar’s comments suggesting potential alterations to the Constitution have been noted.\n <\/p>\n

\n Union Minister Kiren Rijiju asked the Leader of Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, to explain the Congress party\u2019s stance on reservations for Muslims. In response, the head of the Congress stated that no one has the power to amend the Constitution.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the Rajya Sabha, Kiren Rijiju referred to Shivakumar’s comments as “highly serious.”\n <\/p>\n

\n “We do not aim to disturb this critical moment during which I stand before you due to an exceptionally delicate issue brought to light. A highly esteemed leader within the Congress party, occupying a constitutional role, has declared their intent to amend the Constitution so as to introduce quotas for the Muslim community. This declaration cannot be taken frivolously; it represents a profoundly grave concern that we find unacceptable, constituting effectively an attack upon the Indian Constitution itself. Therefore, I seek a definitive response from the President of the Congress Party (Mallikarjun Kharge), present in this assembly. He must clarify his stance and explain both to Parliament and the citizens of India why the Congress wishes to alter the Constitution with provisions aimed at providing reservations for Muslims.” Said Rijiju.\n <\/p>\n

\n In response to Kiren Rijiju, Mallikarjun Kharge, the leader of the Opposition (LoP) and head of the Congress party, stated that their party initiated the Bharat Jodo Yatra nationwide with the aim of safeguarding the Constitution.\n <\/p>\n

\n “No one can amend the Constitution framed by Babasaheb Ambedkar. No one can abolish reservations either. We undertook the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari to safeguard these provisions. It\u2019s them (indicating towards NDA MPs) who are damaging our country,” stated Kharge.\n <\/p>\n

\n Kiren Rijiju further replied to Kharge and demanded the resignation of
\n Karnataka
\n Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar.\n <\/p>\n

\n “By bringing up the topic of Muslim reservations, Congress has tarnished the reputation of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar\u2019s Constitution. If you possess courage, call for the deputy chief minister’s resignation right away,” Rijiju stated.\n <\/p>\n

\n JP Nadda, the Leader of the House, mentioned that the Constitution clearly states reservations should not be granted on the basis of religion.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Congress Party’s decision to introduce caste-based reservations according to religious lines goes against the fundamental principles set forth by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in the Constitution.
\n Karnataka
\n The Congress has already implemented a 4% reservation quota based on religion for public contracts. These types of laws and policies ought to be repealed. Nobody can amend the Constitution, which was developed under the guidance of B.R. Ambedkar,\u201d said Nadda.\n <\/p>\n

\n Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar suspended the session until 2 pm due to an outcry over the proposed 4 percent reservation for minority groups.
\n Karnataka
\n .\n <\/p>\n

\n Following remarks made by DK Shivakumar at an event on Sunday, where he discussed the bill offering a four percent reservation for minorities and other backward classes in public contracts within the state, he apparently stated that \u201cthe Constitution would be amended.\u201d (ANI)\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
