Opposition solidarity outside Parliament this morning.

We have converted the police detention centre at Kingsway Camp Delhi into a brainstorming session of Congress Parliamentary Party on issues of price rise, Agnipath, GST on food items, national security, the falling rupee & other issues concerning the people of India.
KC Venugopal – General Secretary, congress
With the suspension of Opposition MPs from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, it is abundantly clear that Modi Sarkar is no mood to allow the Opposition to raise REAL, URGENT issues being faced by the people of our country in Parliament.
Jairam Ramesh – MP, General Secretary, Congress
I request that Asiatic lions should be resettled in various places, to ensure their conservation.
Rajani Patil – MP, Congress
The suspension of MPs is a symbol of the crushing of the voice of the people of India.
rahul gandhi – former congress president
They have been suspended now for 2 weeks, they have done nothing wrong.
We are not allowed to discuss & debate important issues- this is not the way to run the Parliament.
Sometimes local issues require a national minister’s attention in Parliament.
shashi tharoor – mp, congress leader
Today I raised an urgent problem in Thiruvananthapuram under Rule 377 for Nitin Gadkari ji to resolve before a calamity occurs.
Jairam Ramesh – MP, Former Union Minister:
It is extraordinary and actually an insult to Parliament that former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi says he will attend the Rajya Sabha, to which he has been nominated, when he feels like it!
Parliament is not just about speaking but also listening.

Here it is.
Jairam Ramesh – MP, Former Union Minister:
Chairman Rajya Sabha M Venkaiah Naidu says Parliament MUST meet for atleast 100 days and state assemblies for atleast 90 days in a year.
I fully support this.
Parliament must not only meet, but deliberate on Bills at length and debate issues in depth.
Hope he can make it a reality
We appeal to the presiding officers of both Houses in Parliament to rectify television coverage.
derek o’brien – mp, trinamool congress
All Opposition protests are Censored on TV.
Trinamool Congress demands this TV Censorship must be stopped.
This Govt is turning Parliament into a secret chamber.

Shashi Tharoor – MP, Congress leader :
Mahatma Gandhi watches over Opposition MPs protesting at Parliament House this morning against the undemocratic suspension of 12 Rajya Sabha MPs.
Does government want Parliament to function?
When the sitting of the House is terminated without any definite date being fixed for the next sitting, it is called Adjournment sine die.
Pralhad Joshi – Union Minister
Let us know in detail about this important parliamentary procedure.
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi and several Opposition party leaders meet in Parliament in the office of LoP Shri Mallikarjun Kharge

Jairam Ramesh – MP, Former Union Minister:
Opposition is united in spite of Modi Govt’s efforts to break the unity.
We demand:
1. First, a discussion on the Pegasus scandal and its impact on national security with a reply by the Home Minister.
2. A repeal of the 3 black farm laws with a discussion on farmers’ concerns.

P Chidambaram – Former Union Finance Minister:
Harsimrat Kaur Badal – Former Union Minister :
Today in Parliament Library I asked for the Budget for India’s National Security Council Secretariat.
I asked allocation for three years :
2014-15: Rs.44 cr;
2016-17: Rs.33 cr; &
2017-18: Rs. 333 cr;
Why this jump?
Because a new Head was added: “Cyber Security R&D” ?????
Modi government spokesperson should clarify where the additional Rs 300 crores of the Rs.333 crore allotted actually go?
Welcome friends and I hope all of you have been vaccinated at least once. But even then, I pray to all of you and my colleagues in the House to cooperate in following the Corona protocols.
Vaccine is given in ‘baahu’ (arms), and those who take it become ‘Baahubali’. The only way to become Baahubali to fight against corona is to get vaccinated.
Over 40 crore people have become ‘Baahubali’ in the fight against Corona. It is being taken forward rapidly. The pandemic has gripped the entire world, the entire human race. Therefore, we want meaningful debates in the Parliament over the pandemic.
It should be given the highest priority so that we get all the practical suggestions from all the honorable MPs so that there can be a lot of innovation in the fight against the pandemic. If there are some shortcomings, then they can be rectified and we can move forward together in this fight.
I have also requested all the floor leaders to take time out in the evening tomorrow because I want to give them a detailed presentation on the pandemic situation.
We want the discussion in the House as well as outside with all the floor leaders, because I have been continuously meeting chief ministers.
Discussions are taking place at different forums. It will be convenient if there is a discussion with the floor leaders along with the debate in the House.
Let this session be result oriented with effective debates so that the government can give people the answers sought by them. I would urge all the honorable MPs and all the parties to ask the most difficult and sharpest questions in the Houses but should also allow the Government to respond in a peaceful atmosphere.
Democracy is strengthened when truth reaches people. It also strengthens people’s trust and improves the pace of development.
Friends, the internal arrangement during this session is not like the last time, everyone is going to sit and work together because almost everyone has been vaccinated. I once again thank you all very much and urge you to take care of yourself. Let us all work together to fulfil the hopes and aspirations of the country.
Harsimrat Kaur Badal – Former Union Minister :
First Farm Laws now Electricity Amendment Bill!
After telling farmers it won’t introduce the bill, GoI has listed it for Parliament Monsoon Session.
By privatising power, GOI is throwing farmers to sharks.
When a state govt doesn’t deliver on its manifesto, how will it ensure this subsidy?
Ministry of Science & Technology:
Union Minister for Science & Technology Dr Jitendra Singh today discussed with scientific experts, the modalities of installing the latest UV-C Disinfection Technology in the Parliament House, on the eve of the upcoming session on the 19th of this month.
The technology has been developed by the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), affiliated to the Union Ministry of Science & Technology.
The Minister later informed that, to begin with, the technology meant for mitigation of airborne transmission of SARS-COV-2 will be installed in the Central Hall, Lok Sabha Chamber and Committee Rooms 62 and 63.
However, Dr Jitendra Singh cautioned that even after installation of this disinfection technology, everybody is advised to strictly adhere to COVID appropriate behaviour including use of Face Mask, maintaining social distance, avoiding crowds etc.
CSIR-CSIO has developed an UV-C air duct disinfection system. The disinfection system can be used in auditoriums, large conference rooms, class-rooms, malls etc. which provides a relatively safer environment for indoor activities in the current pandemic. It can also be used in buildings, transport vehicles, etc.
The technology has been developed according to the requirements for deactivation of SARS COV-2 virus contained in an aerosol with necessary ventilation measures, necessary safety and user guidelines and tested Bio-safety standards etc.
UV-C deactivates viruses, bacteria, fungus and other bio – aerosols etc. with appropriate dosages using 254nm UV light.
Use of UV-C may also help in ameliorating the fungal infections being witnessed during the current wave of the pandemic.
The Minister commented on the legacy of CSIR in scientific pursuit and urged the scientists to highlight the role played by the organisation in different segments of the day-to-day life of the common man. CSIR enjoys a unique status globally in the field of science and technology, he added.
Urging the CSIR to preserve and showcase its achievements over the decades Dr.Jitendra Singh said that the feasibility of setting up a museum in the national capital needs to be explored.
