Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has called for a productive Monsoon Session of Parliament, urging lawmakers to avoid disruptions and focus on meaningful dialogue. She specifically demanded a transparent discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the wake of the tragic Pahalgam massacre.
Former UP CM took to social media platform `X’ and wrote, “As the much-anticipated Monsoon Session of Parliament begins today, citizens across the country are country are hopeful that it will mark a shift from the frequent disruptions and lack of constructive debate seen in previous sessions. There is growing public concern that once again, crucial national and public interest issues—such as inflation, unemployment, poverty, women’s safety, and rising internal tensions over language and regional identity—may be sidelined amid political confrontation, allegations, and chaos”.
Mayawati pointed out that the country is currently grappling with multiple serious challenges, both internal and external. From economic distress and social unrest to concerns over national security, especially at the borders, people are expecting Parliament to function responsibly and effectively.
She emphasized the need for debates that result in concrete policies aimed at inclusive development and upliftment of the country’s poor and hardworking Bahujan population.
“The rapidly evolving global political and economic landscape presents new challenges to democracies worldwide, including India. In such circumstances, the responsibility for safeguarding national sovereignty and democratic values cannot rest solely with the government,” Mayawati said.
She said that effective parliamentary functioning becomes even more crucial as people want their leaders( ruling and opposition) to rise above partisan politics and work together in the interest of the nation.
“In this context, there is also a call for a transparent discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in light of the tragic Pahalgam massacre. Ensuring the safety and security of citizens and the nation’s borders is a shared responsibility, and Parliament is the right forum for a cooperative approach between the government and the opposition. As the session unfolds, the public hopes for a shift toward accountability, cooperation, and a renewed commitment to addressing the pressing issues of the day, she wrote
