Opposition stages a walkout during a discussion on a resolution concerning the situation arising from ongoing electoral reforms related to the preparation of voter lists
As Leader of the House, the Chief Minister urges the Speaker to call back the opposition and hold a meaningful debate
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that India is the world’s largest democracy and the Election Commission is a constitutional body. Casting aspersions on such an institution, he remarked, is almost sacrilegious. He further said that despite this, the opposition has repeatedly attempted to question the credibility of this sacred institution and should therefore participate in a detailed discussion on the issue within the House.
The Chief Minister was speaking on Monday during the Winter Session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha while participating in the discussion on a resolution moved by MLA, Ramkumar Kashyap regarding the situation arising out of ongoing electoral reforms related to the preparation of voter rolls.
He said that the opposition has been making baseless allegations and has now walked out of the House on this issue. This, he said, is the third instance of such a walkout by the opposition. As Leader of the House, the Chief Minister appealed to the Speaker to call back the opposition members so that a constructive and meaningful discussion could take place. He emphasized that it is essential for the people of the country and the state to understand what is right and what is wrong clearly.
