The Monsoon Session of the Parliament began today and will continue till August 21, with a break from August 12 to August 18. On the first day of the Monsoon Session, the INDIA block slammed the NDA government over various issues.
Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, just before the monsoon session, took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Ahead of PM Modi’s address in the Parliament Session on Monday, Jairam Ramesh asked him to be present to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, as he is scheduled to visit the UK and Maldives from July 23 to July 26, 2025.
While taking to his social media account, Jairam Ramesh criticised PM Modi, highlighting that he rarely attends Parliament sessions and usually addresses the nation through media outside the Parliament Building.
The Rajya Sabha MP Ramesh also emphasised that the Prime Minister's presence is crucial during important discussions, particularly on issues like the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, and President Trump's claims.
The Congress MP, while posting on X, said, "Very shortly the nattily dressed Prime Minister will give his usual Desh ke Naam Sandesh through the media outside the Parliament Building before the commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. This will be full of his usual platitudes and hypocrisy."
As reported by news agency ANI, Jairam Ramesh also highlighted Prime Minister Modi's infrequent presence in Parliament, noting that he typically speaks only once a year during the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address.
He wrote, "Prime Minister Modi is very, very, very rarely present in Parliament. He speaks once a year on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address."
Ramesh has also urged the Prime Minister to prioritise his duties and be present in Parliament during critical discussions. Ramesh asserted that the PM's presence will surely ensure the government's stance on key issues.
He added that, "But this time he owes it to the country to be present when the issue of Pahalgam-Operation Sindoor-President Trump is finally taken up for discussion," as cited by ANI.
Ahead of PM Modi's upcoming visit to the UK and Maldives from July 23 to 26, Jairam Ramesh added, "48 hours later, the Super Premium Frequent Flyer will start yet another foreign visit. The people of Manipur will have more cause for disappointment."
