The Story in Brief
Congress MP Pawan Khera led Opposition MPs in a protest outside Parliament on Thursday, waving toy monkeys and chanting '56 inch ka chhota bandar, jaldi aao sadan ke andar', a clear barb at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Deccan Herald reports that the protest was held on the Parliament premises. The slogan references the PM's often-repeated 56-inch chest remark, turning it into a taunt about his absence from the House. The Opposition has been demanding the PM address issues such as the Manipur violence and price rise.
The Indian Opinion
The '56-inch chhota bandar' jibe reveals how quickly political slogans devolve into schoolyard name-calling. Both sides forget that Parliament exists to debate policies, not egos. The real test is whether the PM will now answer the adjournment motions on Manipur and inflation, or whether the Parliament will remain a stage for stunts rather than substance.
