On Sunday (November 30), just a day before the winter session of Parliament, the government called an all-party meeting, in which leaders of all major political parties participated. In this meeting held in the Parliament House, the opposition presented the issues of its agenda before the government, in which topics like Delhi blasts, Special Revision Process (SIR) of voter list, foreign policy concerns and national security were prominent. The government presented its priorities and appealed for cooperation in the smooth conduct of the session.

15 meetings, shortest session? Opposition’s question

The winter session will start from Monday and continue till December 19. This time the session will be of only 15 meetings, which is much less than the normal 20 meetings. Congress alleged that the government wants to ‘derail’ Parliament by keeping the session short.

Rijiju appealed for peaceful discussion

Before the meeting, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju held separate talks with the leaders of all the parties. He said, “It is winter season, hopefully everyone will work with a cool mind. There should be debate, but not disruption. A calm atmosphere will be beneficial for the country and Parliament will run smoothly.”

“The government is burying parliamentary traditions”

After the all-party meeting, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi alleged that the central government was deliberately shortening the session. He said, “Discussion is possible only for 15 days in the total session of 19 days. Perhaps this will be the shortest winter session ever. It seems that the government itself wants to derail the Parliament.” He further said, “This government is engaged in burying the traditions of Parliament. That is why the opposition is united. Tomorrow we will have a meeting with Kharge ji.”

What issues does the opposition want discussed?

Gogoi enumerated six major demands of the opposition, which included-

1. Debate on Delhi blasts- He said that this is a sign of failure of security agencies.

However, this is not the first time that an all -party meeting has been called on the Pahalgam attack. Let us know when the meeting was called before.

Opposition role in all -party meeting

The all -party meeting has not only been called at the time of the Pahalgam attack, but whenever there is a war -like situation in the country or there is any kind of attack, then to listen to all the parties, the government calls the big leaders of all parties before taking action against the attack. His opinion is known from them. If the people of the opposition question the government, then the spokespersons also answer their questions. Apart from this, the government tells what kind of action it is going to take on those who attacked.

Questions can be asked by the government

If the opposition agrees with the government’s matter, then it agrees. If the opposition does not agree, then it has the right to express its opinion before the government that if the government takes such a step, then how much loss may have to be faced. What decisions should the government take during such trouble. Or what results can be yielded from the decisions that are going to take the government. Leaders of parties whose governments have been in the past can give opinion to those running the government based on their experience.

When was the all -party meeting called

Usually an all -party meeting is called as Parliament was attacked, after which this meeting was organized. An all -party meeting was also called during the Kargil War. Or by calling the leaders of all the big parties during a war -like situation, the present government takes advantage of them.

Earlier expressed resentment

AIMIM chief and MP from Hyderabad Asaduddin Owaisi had earlier expressed displeasure over the all -party meeting to be held on Thursday. Owaisi had said that he was not invited by the Narendra Modi government to attend this meeting. After this, he spoke to Union Minister Kiren Rijiju over the phone and appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include him in this important meeting.

When is an all -party meeting?

All -party meeting is slightly different from common meetings. This meeting is called when an incident occurs, which has a big impact on the interest of the country. For example, in 2019, the government held such a meeting during the Pulwama terrorist attack or the Indo-China border dispute in 2020. In this meeting, the government gives complete information about the incident to the opposition parties and the leaders of the opposition also share their suggestions and thoughts with the government.

Asaduddin Owaisi on all-party meeting: The central government is holding an all -party meeting today (24 April), in which the leaders of all political parties will be informed about the Pahalgam terror attack and their views will also be heard. According to government sources, in this meeting, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah will give information related to the attack. The meeting will be chaired by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.

AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has said that he was not invited to this meeting. After this, he spoke to Union Minister Kiren Rijiju over the phone. Owaisi has also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include all the parties in this meeting.

Asaduddin Owaisi said this

Asaduddin Owaisi said that he had talked to Kiren Rijiju last night about the all -party meeting to be held on Pahalgam. Rijiju said that they are thinking of calling only those parties who have 5 or 10 MPs. When Owaisi asked why parties with less MPs are not being called, Rijiju said that the meeting will be very long. When Owaisi said “what is our then?” So Rijiju jokingly said that your voice is very loud anyway.

Owaisi said that this is not a meeting of the BJP or any one party, but it is an all -party meeting, which aims to give a united and strong message against terrorism and the countries that give them shelter. He asked, “Can Prime Minister Modi not give an hour -long extraction to listen to all the parties? Your own party does not have a majority alone.” Owaisi said, “Whether a party has 1 MP or 100, they have all been elected by the people of India and everyone should be heard on such a big issue.”

Owaisi requested PM Modi

Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi said that this is not an issue of politics, but it is a big issue related to the country. Therefore, every party should be heard. Appealing to Prime Minister Modi, he said, “I request the Prime Minister to make this meeting a true all-party meeting. All the parties who are MPs in Parliament should be called to this meeting.”

Why is an all -party meeting?

On Wednesday, it was decided that a meeting of all parties would be called. For this, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to different parties. When there is a big threat to the security of the country, then the government calls all political parties together and discusses. This has also happened before, such as the Pulwama attack in 2019 or the tension between India-China in 2020. The purpose of such meetings is that the unity of the country is seen and all the leaders should talk together on the solution. At the same time, the opposition also gets a chance to ask the government and get complete information.
