Wayanad: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday accused the Centre of undermining the democratic process in Parliament and preventing proper discussions.
Speaking to reporters, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra alleged that the central government employs various tactics to evade discussions and avoid accountability.
She alleged that the government blocked discussions in Parliament, responding to questions about the alleged suppression of opposition voices.
"On their policy, I have seen the last few sessions of the Parliament, and it is to avoid discussion in whatever way – whether it is by raking up something they feel the opposition is going to protest about or whether it is by not allowing the leader of the opposition to speak," Vadra said.
Vadra further accused the Centre of obstructing the democratic process in Parliament, rendering it ineffective. She described this situation as "very sad" for MPs to witness.
"The opposition is often accused of sabotaging Parliament, but this is the process we see under this government... the government themselves sabotage the process, which is probably very new for everybody to see," she claimed.
Earlier in the day, Priyanka Gandhi attended the District-Level Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting at the Collectorate in Kalpetta here.
