Rahul Gandhi assurance on full cooperation in the parliament
New Delhi June 26: Congress senior leader Rahul Gandhi assured the full cooperation of the Opposition to Om Birla, the speaker of the Lok Sabha, to run the House smoothly.
He also congratulated Om Birla, the speaker of the Lok Sabha who was elected for the post second time.
“I would like to congratulate you (Om Birla) for your successful election and for the second time that you have been elected. I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the entire Opposition, on behalf of the ‘INDIA’ alliance,” Gandhi said.
While addressing the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi further said: “This House represents the voice of India’s people and you are the final arbiter of that voice. Of course, the government has political power, but the Opposition also represents the voice of India’s people and this time, the Opposition represents significantly more voice of the Indian people than it did last time.”
Rahul Gandhi also assured smooth proceedings of the house.
“The Opposition would like to assist you in doing your work. We would like the House to function often and well. It is very important that cooperation happens on the basis of trust. It is very important that the voice of the Opposition is allowed to be represented in this House. I am confident that you will allow us to represent our voice, allow us to speak, allow us to represent the voice of the people of India,” he said.
“The question is not how efficiently the House is run. The question is how much of India’s voice is being allowed to be heard in this House. So, the idea that you can run the House efficiently by silencing the voice of the opposition is a non-democratic idea and this election has shown that the people of India expect the Opposition to defend the Constitution, the Samvidhan of this country and we are confident that by allowing the Opposition to speak, by allowing us to represent the people of India, you will do your duty of defending the Constitution of India,” Gandhi said.
