"Systematically silencing Opposition": Manickam Tagore claims Opposition denied right to respond to Amit Shah in Lok Sabha
Mar 31, 2026
In a post on X, Tagore said, "Today in Parliament, when Amit Shah made baseless and politically motivated allegations against Leader of Opposition Sh Rahul Gandhi, we -- Congress MPs -- stood up to oppose it. But as usual, the Speaker refused to give us the mic. Is this how democracy functions? One side gets to aarop lgaao, and the other is not even allowed to respond? This is not just about one statement -- this is about systematically silencing the Opposition inside Parliament. If the government is so confident about its claims, why are they afraid of a jvaab? Parliament is meant for debate, not one-sided propaganda. You can mute the mic, but you cannot silence the truth."
