Kiren Rijiju: 12 Bills Passed, But Discussion Quality Unsatisfactory
In India, a group of leaders called Parliament makes rules for the country.
These rules are called bills, and when they are passed, they can become laws.
During one session, 12 bills were passed.
But a leader named Mr. Kiren Rijiju said he was not happy.
He felt that another group, called the opposition, did not want to talk about the bills.
Talking and discussing helps everyone make sure the rules are fair.
Mr. Rijiju said the opposition made excuses to avoid talking and would not even listen to the minister's reply.
He said this was not healthy for democracy.
Democracy means everyone gets a chance to speak and share their ideas.
Mr. Rijiju hopes leaders will discuss things properly next time.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said 12 bills were passed during the Parliament session.
Rijiju said the government was not satisfied with the quality of discussion because the opposition did not allow proper debate, especially in the Lok Sabha.
He said this was the first time he had seen the opposition shying away from discussion.
Rijiju claimed the government was calling for discussion while the opposition made excuses to avoid it and declared they would neither listen to the discussion nor hear the minister's reply.
He described the situation as 'not healthy for parliamentary democracy.'
