Union Minister of State for Labour, Employment, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Shobha Karandlaje emphasized that Rahul Gandhi's claim about his mic being muted during the NEET discussion in Parliament was untrue.
“It is a lie. His (Rahul Gandhi) mic was not muted during the discussion on NEET. He had the opportunity to speak in Parliament. We have made it very clear that the Central government is ready for debates and discussions on any issue,” Shobha Karandlaje told media persons.
“The budget session is likely to take place on July 22. So, there is a lot of time. Despite the time, Congress, with the intention of insulting the President, is doing all this,” she said.
Highlighting the ample opportunities for Members of Parliament to raise issues during discussions inside the Parliament, Karandlaje mentioned the upcoming budget session scheduled for July 22, emphasizing the available time for deliberation. She criticized the Congress for allegedly attempting to disrespect the President by their actions, despite the procedural norms in Parliament.
“One can speak about development, allegations or over any other issue during the motion of thanks. After the speeches, we have the tradition of adopting the motion thanking the President for the address. But the Congress is trying to disturb everything,” she said.
