"We followed 'Rashtra dharma', Govt should follow 'Raj dharma'": SP MP Rajeev Rai demands special session of Parliament
New Delhi [India], June 4 (ANI): Samajwadi Party MP Rajeev Rai on Wednesday said that the government should follow the 'Raj dharma' and convene a special session of Parliament over Operation Sindoor. SP MP Rai was a part of an all-party delegation led by DMK MP Kanimozhi, which travelled to Russia, Slovenia, Greece, Latvia, and Spain as part of a global outreach initiative to brief key nations on Operation Sindoor and India's counter-terrorism efforts following the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack. 'PM should have called the special session by himself. In 1962, when the war against China was at its climax, first-time MP Atal Bihari Vajpayee had demanded a special session mid-war. Nehru ji had called the special session then. But today, the same party is in power. You did not even announce the war. Call it conflict or counter-terrorist activity, the entire country stood with you. You asked us to go across the world and talk to them; we did it. We followed the 'rashtra dharma', but the government should follow 'raj dharma,' Rai told ANI. Mian Altaf Ahmad (Jammu and Kashmir National Conference), Brijesh Chowta (BJP), Prem Chand Gupta (Rashtriya Janata Dal), Ashok Kumar Mittal (Aam Aadmi Party), and former envoys Manjeev S Puri and Jawed Ashraf were also a part of this delegation. Earlier today, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said the INDIA bloc wanted to discuss the Pahalagam terror attack and not the action taken by the government during a special session of Parliament. He further stated that if the 16 opposition parties demanded a special session, then the same should happen. On Tuesday, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge reiterated the demand of the opposition parties and their leaders to convene a special session of Parliament upon the arrival of all-party delegations to discuss various issues, especially the developments that followed the ghastly Pahalgam terrorist attack that claimed 26 civilian lives. India had launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Indian armed forces responded effectively to subsequent Pakistani aggression and pounded its airbases. The two countries then reached an understanding to stop military action following a call made by Pakistan's DGMO to his Indian counterpart. (ANI)

Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Surjewala calls for central intervention to end Punjab-Haryana water dispute.
Chandigarh: Amidst the war of words between Punjab and Haryana over the issue of releasing water, Rajya Sabha MP and AICC general decretary Randeep Surjewala on Sunday asked the chief ministers of the two neighbouring states, Bhagwant Mann and Nayab Saini, to forego political collusion and consider the larger public interest. Surjewala, who was interacting with media persons here on the ongoing tussle between the two states over Bhakra waters, specifically targeted Union minister Manohar Lal Khattar, urging him to fulfil 'Rajdharma' to ensure Haryana's right to water. At the same time, he also urged PM Modi to issue directions to Punjab under Article 257 of the Constitution to ensure Haryana's right to water. Notably, for the past week, Punjab reduced the release of water to Haryana from BBMB to 4,000 cusecs, claiming that Haryana exhausted its quota in March. "The Modi govt should hand over the security of Bhakra Nangal Dam to CISF, and the Govt of India should retrieve control of Bhakra Nangal Dam from the illegal occupation of Punjab Police," said Surjewala. Surjewala claimed there is a severe water shortage in Haryana , and listed the districts suffering the most. Surjewala also claimed that this has led to the unannounced rule of the water tanker mafia in the state. This comes along with the threat of a drought-like situation for districts where cotton and maize are to be sown. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around in 2025 Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo "Amidst the severe water crisis in Haryana, the chief ministers of Punjab and Haryana, Mr Bhagwant Mann and Mr Nayab Saini, are busy only in rhetoric and writing 'love letters' to each other. Alternatively, they are seen together in Chandigarh getting photographed or hugging each other. Punjab chief minister Mann is intoxicated with power," said Surjewala. "Nayab Saini, instead of getting Haryana's rights settled from the central BJP govt, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi and power minister Manohar Lal Khattar, is only pretending to take action by sometimes calling an all-party meeting and sometimes finding excuses to go to court. Their malintent is clear – play politics and fool the people," added Surjewala. Surjewala said that the attitude of the BJP govt at the Centre is even more shocking. "The Modi govt is sleeping at the wheel as if it has nothing to do with Punjab or Haryana. BBMB (Bhakra Beas Management Board) is a project of the central govt. The BBMB board is formed by the power ministry of the country, whose minister is Manohar Lal Khattar. The power ministry also has direct control over BBMB. The Bhakra Dam is also completely under BBMB and the ministry of power, Govt of India," he said. "What is the reason that the Modi govt is not issuing directions to the Bhagwant Mann govt to remove Punjab police from the dam site?" he questioned. MSID:: 120874361 413 |
