Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president Chirag Paswan criticized the Congress protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence, stating that the opposition deliberately creates disorder instead of engaging in dialogue.
Speaking to ANI on July 22, Paswan said, “The accusation that the opposition repeatedly levels against us is that we don’t hold dialogues, right? But where are they when a dialogue is actually initiated? Frankly, I feel that trying to say anything to the opposition is like playing the flute before a buffalo. They are simply unwilling to listen.”
He added, “This implies your sole objective is to create a ruckus, not to resolve matters through dialogue.”
Paswan emphasized the importance of addressing issues collectively, saying, “It does not matter to them that such important subjects are coming up here, such as increasing the number of Supreme Court judges. Today, in a meeting with NDA MPs, the Prime Minister clearly stated that there can be absolutely no compromise regarding India’s future or the interests of the youth and students.”
He further questioned the opposition’s approach, stating, “But if you pick one or two issues before every session, then why not take up all issues collectively? Why do you leave issues halfway? You need to see those issues through to their conclusion. You raise an issue today, but then find a new one in the next session.”
Highlighting the government’s commitment to farmers, students, and youth, Paswan said, “When we stand with the farmers, students, and the youth, please offer suggestions on how we can stand even more firmly with them. We will adopt every suggestion of yours and accept every valid point you present backed by facts.”
He concluded, “Discussions should be fact-based, yet you choose to create a ruckus, causing chaos on the streets and misleading people, while ignoring the very platform meant for dialogue and genuine discussion.”
