Govt urged to let 15th Parliament complete full term
KUALA LUMPUR: The government has been urged to ensure the 15th Parliament completes its full term until Dec 18 next year, unless it loses the confidence of the House.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared on Wednesday that the government is prepared to engage in a comprehensive discussion at Parliament regarding the student protests over the NEET paper leak. The Opposition has been obstructing the functioning of Parliament in both houses, and Shah urged them to submit a letter to the Speaker by 2 PM so that the debate can commence at 3 PM.
Shah emphasized that he is ready to answer any question in the House. He criticized the Opposition's language and lack of willingness to hold a discussion, stating that the government has nothing to hide. The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, is fully committed to discussing every aspect of the student protests.
Shah proposed that the discussion should begin at 3 PM on Wednesday and conclude by 3 PM on Thursday, offering to answer all questions from the opposition during the debate.
