Cong’s riposte to minister’s attack on Sonia Gandhi over Parliament session was, “How much will you mislead?”

Ramesh asked the question, “How much will you mislead…?” in a post that he made on X. The agenda was fully known in advance for each and every Special Session or Sitting that took place.
On Wednesday, the head of the Congress party, Jairam Ramesh, launched an attack against Union Minister Pralhad Joshi for his words regarding the special session of Parliament that will be held from September 18 to September 22.

Jairam Ramesh asked the question, “How much will you mislead Joshi-avare?” in a post that he made on X (which was then known as Twitter). On each and every occurrence of a Special Session or Sitting, the agenda was well-known in advance and was not subject to any surprises. Only the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi frequently disobeys parliamentary conventions and treats the legislature with contempt. Many Special Sittings have been convened in the past by governments, including your own, in order to commemorate events such as Constitution Day, the Quit India Movement, and other similar occasions.
Ramesh continued by enumerating the several extraordinary sessions of Parliament that had been summoned by past governments and explaining their motivations. In his writing, he said, “Here is a comprehensive list of previous instances, beginning with Special Sessions.”
“30 June, 2017 — A Joint Special Session to be held in the Central Hall at midnight in order to implement the GST… After the Left parties withdrew their support from the UPA-1 government in July 2008, a Special Session of the Lok Sabha was scheduled for the purpose of holding a vote of trust… The leader of the Congress party continued by stating that a Special Session was held from the 26th of August to the 1st of September in 1997 in order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Indian Independence.
The criticism by Jairam Ramesh came after Union Minister Joshi accused Sonia Gandhi of “trying to politicise the functioning of Parliament” and “creating unnecessary controversy.” Jairam Ramesh’s comments came following Joshi’s accusations. “It is quite regrettable that you are attempting to politicise the operation of Parliament, which is the temple of democracy in this country, and to stir up unneeded controversies… It’s possible that you don’t care about following the customs. In response to Gandhi’s question, the minister in charge of parliamentary affairs stated that neither negotiations with political parties nor subjects are ever discussed prior to bringing a session of Parliament into session.

Sonia Gandhi, the leader of the Congress party, wrote a letter to the prime minister in which she inquired about the specifics of the agenda that the administration had prepared for the impending extraordinary session of the Parliament. In a letter that Gandhi penned, he stated, “You have called an extraordinary five-day session of the Parliament beginning on the 18th of September, 2023.” It is imperative that I bring to your attention the fact that no other political parties were consulted prior to the convening of this Special Session. Nobody here has any clue as to what its goals are.
She went on to say that the only piece of information the opposition had about the five-day session was that it had been set aside for “government business.”
