Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien retweeted the post and wrote Mr Modi, listen to us in Parliament.
The video has been prepared from a clip from Rajya Sabha TV which contains statements made by opposition MPs in the Upper House and begins with words like farmer and pegasus. In this video, Congress’s Mallikarjun Kharge is seen saying in the House, “The discussion we have been demanding for the last 14 days, and we can discuss the future, you are not allowing it to happen.” You are passing that bill now. If you have the courage, start a discussion on the Pegasus controversy.
In the video, Congress’s Deepender Hooda is seen saying that he would like to speak on farmers’ issue if his microphone is not switched off. The CPI(M) is seen accusing the government of stealing parliamentary democracy. Sukhendu Shekhar Rai of Trinamool Congress is seen raising the issue of freedom of speech in Parliament.
