Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju has expressed concern over the quality of debate during the latest parliamentary session, despite the passage of 12 Bills. In a newspaper article, he said that disruption, not discussion, often dominated the House. He accused the Opposition of demanding answers but walking out when the government offered a full debate. Rijiju wrote that he personally reached out to the Leader of the Opposition multiple times to build bridges.
The minister’s lament is convenient. His government commands a huge majority, yet blame for disruption is placed solely on the Opposition. Both sides come to Parliament with scripts, not for dialogue. The real test is whether the Winter Session produces a single, unscripted, back-and-forth debate that leaves both sides uncomfortable. If not, the finger-pointing is just more noise.
