Kharge said – People will take to the streets, take bullets, but will not support this law.
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said that a person, a minister, who shows compassion towards the poor, is now ending MNREGA. There is some compulsion which you are not telling others. There will come a time in the coming days when you will withdraw this law in the same way as you had withdrawn the three agricultural laws. Do you want a movement in which people block roads, protest, take bullets and die? Only then will you withdraw the law? People will take to the streets, face bullets, but will never support this law.

Priyanka Chaturvedi said – Bill is against poor, farmers, laborers and employment
Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said in Rajya Sabha that this bill is anti-poor, farmers, laborers and employment. This bill will increase additional burden on the states. This bill should be sent to the select committee.
He said, do not defame the name of Lord Ram and do not commit your sins and misdeeds in the name of Lord Ram. Can the Ram Rajya which was imagined by Atal ji and Mahatma Gandhi by taking the name of Lord Shri Ram be anti-poor?
SHANTI bill related to nuclear energy passed in Rajya Sabha

Minister of State for Atomic Energy Jitendra Singh said – Bill has been brought after talks for a year
Responding to the discussion on the Peace Bill in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Atomic Energy Jitendra Singh said, after deliberating on this bill for more than a year, we have reached this stage. There has been a change in technology. Now we are moving towards small modular reactors. Now there will be reactors that will provide electricity in densely populated areas. This bill is being brought because the scenario has changed. India’s nuclear plants are located far away from seismic areas, so we don’t have to worry about this.
