"Government will listen to opposition but won't compromise with national interests! - Kiren Rijiju"

New Delhi, August 23

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju emphasised that the government will listen to the issues raised by the opposition but will never compromise with the national interest.

Kiren Rijiju was addressing a gathering at the Shankar Lal Auditorium in New Delhi on Friday. Sharing a post on his official 'X' handle, the Union Minister informed about the development.

"Government will listen to opposition but won't compromise with national interests! We are devoted to fulfill the vision of PM Narendra Modi to make Viksit Bharat by 2047!," the 'X' post said.

While addressing the gathering, Kiren Rijiju said that the government is run by democratic people and they work democratically, due to which they didn't bring any bill in the first three weeks of the parliament.

He also pointed out the continuous disruptions in parliament, stating that the government wants to listen to the opposition, but they always seem to create a "ruckus".

"We work for the security of the country. You (opposition) must have heard about special intensive revision. The opposition parties disrupted the parliament a lot. We are democratic people and we work democratically, therefore, we did not pass any bill for the first three weeks. We kept telling the opposition every day that you should participate in the debate and discussion, the government has brought an important bills. Contribute by participating in the debate and giving suggestions. We also want to hear the suggestions of the opposition parties. We have told them repeatedly, but they do not listen," Kiren Rijiju said.

He stated that the government had passed several bills in the nation's interest, despite the opposition's continued disruption of parliament. Rijiju further noted that the opposition can question the policies of the government, but cannot disrupt the functioning of the parliament.

"As soon as the House meets, they (opposition) create a ruckus, then the government decided that you (opposition) can keep creating a ruckus, we will pass bills in the interest of the country. There is a difference between opposition and obstruction; you can oppose the policy of the government but cannot obstruct the functioning of the parliament," Rijiju said.

While I agree national interest is paramount, the government should also genuinely consider opposition viewpoints. Democracy thrives on healthy debate, not just passing bills without discussion. Hope both sides find middle ground.

Opposition is behaving like spoiled children! They disrupt parliament and then complain when government takes action. Rijiju ji is absolutely right - you can oppose but not obstruct. Jai Hind! 🙏

As an observer from abroad, I appreciate the minister's stance. Every nation must prioritize its interests first. The opposition's role is to provide constructive criticism, not create chaos. Well said, Minister Rijiju!

Both sides need to work together for the country's development. The constant blame game isn't helping anyone. We elected all MPs to work for India, not waste time in parliament disruptions. 🤦‍♀️

Viksit Bharat 2047 is a great vision! But it requires cooperation from all parties. Hope the opposition stops playing politics and starts contributing constructively. The country is watching!
