India: Modi gov't slammed for passing 12 bills in under 7 minutes, without discussion
#1
Trinamool Congress lawmaker Derek O'Brien has criticized the federally ruling National Democratic Alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for passing several bills without discussing them first in Parliament.

"The government is rushing to pass bills through Parliament at an average time of under seven minutes per bill," O'Brien tweeted, sarcastically referring to the process to making "papri chaat," an Indian street snack, which takes a few minutes to prepare.

O'Brien further accused the government of violating the "sanctity of Parliament."

He raised a similar issue in 2019 when the government passed several bills without putting them up for discussion first.

Meanwhile, last week Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the Congress party for disrupting parliamentary proceedings by holding placards with slogans and demanding the government prioritize certain issues, including investigating the alleged spying on Indian nationals using Pegasus software, last February's Delhi riots, and farmer protests.
