Indian Parliament, particularly focusing on the disruptions caused by the Opposition and the government’s stance on focusing on delivery rather than drama.
The Opposition is protesting against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging it’s a systematic attempt to manipulate elections. They’ve been disrupting proceedings, demanding a discussion on the issue, but the government is pushing back, saying Parliament should focus on national development and policy matters
Key points include:
- The Winter Session of Parliament began on December 1, 2025, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasizing the need for discussions on policy rather than slogans.
- The Opposition has been disrupting parliamentary proceedings, leading to adjournments and low productivity.
- Historical data shows low productivity in previous sessions, with the Lok Sabha functioning at 29% and Rajya Sabha at 34% of scheduled time in the Monsoon Session.
- The government has passed significant reforms and bills, including the Nari Shakti Vandan Act and repealed obsolete laws.
- The current session has 13 bills listed for tabling and passage, focusing on various sectors like education, healthcare, and finance. These include: – Nuclear Energy Bill – Higher Education Commission Bill – National Highways (Amendment) Bill – Corporate Regulations (Amendment) Bill – Securities Markets Code Bill – Manipur GST (Amendment) Bill – Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill – Repealing and Amendment Bill – Arbitration and Conciliation Bill – Insurance Regulations (Amendment) Bill – Central Excise (Amendment) Bill – Health Security and National Security Services Bill – Jan Vishwas (Amendment) Bill
- In a democracy, the real strength of the Opposition lies in constructive debate, logic, and the ability to voice real public concerns. But when every issue becomes a protest, every debate becomes noise, and every session becomes a battlefield, it weakens democratic culture. The role of the Opposition is to hold the government accountable, not to hold Parliament hostage.
- The Opposition has turned Parliament into a stage and keeps adding new characters to its performance. There is drama and chaos, but the real purpose of Parliament, policymaking and representing constituencies, is not being fulfilled. Elected representatives come to Parliament to voice the concerns of the people and shape national policy, but the Opposition instead chooses drama so that no meaningful work can be done. Every Parliament session is now remembered for disruptions, therefore, new mechanisms are needed to ensure smooth functioning.
