Amit Shah likens INDIA bloc’s mock Parliament to Maoist parallel government
Amit Shah compared the INDIA bloc’s mock Parliament to a Maoist parallel government during a speech in Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
The mock session was held at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s New Delhi residence on October 31, amid allegations of irregularities in the revision of electoral rolls.
It also staged a “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Shah said the government was ready to debate the electoral-roll revision in Parliament, including in a special session.
He likened the mock Parliament to Jantana Sarkar, which he described as an unconstitutional parallel government run by Maoists in areas they once controlled.
Shah accused the Congress of supporting unconstitutional governments and said the Opposition had halted Parliament’s work; these were his claims.
The next step depends on Parliament convening for a debate, which Shah said the government would support.
