Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday slammed the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for muzzling the voice of opposition and promoting politics of hate in the country.
The Chief Minister, who joined the protesting opposition MPs against the suspension of Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, said that unfortunately the ruling alliance don’t allow the MPs to raise the issue of public concern. However, he said that if exercising his democratic right any MP comes in the well of the house, he is unlawfully suspended, which is very shameful. Bhagwant Mann said that this dictatorial way of suppressing the voice of elected representatives of the people that too in this ‘temple of democracy’ is unwarranted and undesirable.
The Chief Minister said that silencing the opposition for political gains is not a new thing in this dictatorial regime. He said that in the last nine years the opposition has been completely ignored by the ruling alliance by using various tools. Bhagwant Mann said that the bills are passed in ruckus created in the august house without even bothering to get the consent of all the members adding that this is a blot of the entire democracy.
The Chief Minister said that all the MPs having conscience are with Sanjay Singh and are staging a protest here today. He said that the Prime Minister loves to talk in his ‘Mann ki Baat’ but he is never ready to listen to what the people of the country have to say. Bhagwant Mann said that the wise and democracy loving people of the country will never accept this and will teach a befitting lesson to the BJP and its allies for this sin.
The Chief Minister said that Modi and company are jeopardising the democracy in the country. He said that if the country is to be run by 30 people including Prime Minister, Home Minister and their 28 Governors then why should huge money be wasted on conducting elections. Bhagwant Mann said that this is a dangerous trend in the democracy which needs to be checked immediately.
