Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda criticized the opposition, particularly the Congress party, for their disruptive behavior during President Droupadi Murmu’s speech in Parliament. The opposition protested over the alleged termination of the MGNREGA scheme while the President was addressing both Houses. As President Murmu discussed the Viksit Bharat-G RAM G law, opposition leaders stood up, chanting slogans and causing a disturbance.
Nadda strongly denounced the opposition’s actions, stating that their behavior lacked parliamentary decorum. He highlighted the disrespect shown towards national symbols and cultural figures, such as Vande Mataram and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee. Nadda expressed astonishment at the Trinamool Congress’s involvement in the disruption, emphasizing the need for an apology to Parliament and the nation.
President Murmu commemorated the 150th anniversary of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s Vande Mataram, praising its enduring inspiration. The opposition’s unruly conduct during this significant event was condemned by Nadda, who questioned their animosity towards Vande Mataram and Bankim Babu. The Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025, which aims to enhance rural development, was passed by Parliament in December last year, replacing MGNREGA (2005).
