Manish Tiwari replied

Congress MP Manish Tiwari said in an interview to ANI that the Congress parliamentary party has about 100 members and many of them wanted to speak on this subject. I was also one of them, but the party decided who would represent the party in Parliament. Perhaps they felt that I could not represent. I have no complaint or regret on this. “

Congress status and organization’s strength

The Congress MP said, “I have been in Congress for 45 years. My whole life has been spent in the Congress. I think I believe that Congress is necessary for this country. To carry forward this great organization, people with full loyal and ideological strength are needed to carry forward this great organization.”

Congress MP Manish Tiwari has raised serious questions in Parliament regarding the objectives of Operation Sindoor. He said that it is not enough to answer odd war in traditional ways only and whether it is being established or not, it is important.

Manish Tiwari also said that it is also necessary to see how safe it is to give traditional answers in the atomic weapons environment. He warned that when it is difficult to set the boundary in South Asia and the nuclear environment outside South Asia and outside it does not exist.

The MP said that the real question is whether the traditional answer is so effective that the next terrorist attack can be stopped. This is not an issue to answer yes or no. He insisted that such serious issues related to the security of the country should be discussed openly in Parliament.

The monsoon session of the assembly in Rajasthan will start from September 1. The government has decided to pass the anti -conversion bill in the monsoon session. This bill could not be discussed in the budget session. There is a possibility of uproar when this bill is discussed in the House.

The Congress party has clarified its attitude by raising questions on the government’s firm about this bill and has made its stand clear. On the other hand, the BJP has retaliated on the Congress and said that it is very important to stop love jihad and illegal conversion.

Anti -conversion bill passed in monsoon session?

The anti -conversion bill was presented by the government on 3 February in the budget session. However, it could not be discussed due to uproar in that session. It has been made clear from the government that not only will it be discussed in the monsoon session, but it will also be passed.

The government believes that after passing the anti -conversion bill, incidents like Love Jihad will be controlled in the state. The Congress party has made its stand clear about the preparations for the anti -conversion bill to be passed in the monsoon session.

The new law is just a political tactic – Bhanwar Jitendra Singh

In Rajasthan, senior Congress party leader and former Union Minister Bhanwar Jitendra Singh has said that the BJP keeps on giving up such political shigufaji to divert attention from the necessary issues. He says that there is already a law against illegal conversion. In such a situation, the new law is just a political tactic.

He said that his party is not a supporter of illegal conversion at all, but we want strict action against those who converted with force, pressure and greed. They allege that the government’s intention in this case is not clear.

Congress party has always done politics of appeasement – Dr. Satish Poonia

Bhanwar Jitendra Singh says that BJP only wants to propaganda and target a particular community through such issues. He said that the Congress party has always been against the oppression of any community. On discussing in the House, the Congress party would like to know the intention of the government and will insist on the solidarity of the society and the safety of all.

On the other hand, the ruling BJP has retaliated on the Congress’ stance. Senior BJP leader and former state president Dr. Satish Poonia says that the Congress party has always been doing politics of appeasement and its objection and opposition to this bill is also part of this.

It is necessary to stop love jihad by making laws – Dr. Satish Poonia

Dr. Satish Poonia says that in the name of love jihad, there is a large -scale conversion under the mission by giving fear, pressure and greed. If the government wants to curb it by making laws and wants to secure the lives of the people, then the Congress party should not have any objection to it.

He said that the Congress party does not desist from protesting on such necessary issues only for the benefit of vote bank. There will be a lot of effort from the government to pass this bill in the monsoon session and give it the appearance of the law.

Both parties are attacking each other

It can be said that the Congress and BJP have already become face to face in Rajasthan regarding the anti-conversion law. Both parties are attacking each other. At the commencement of the assembly session, there is a possibility of dispute and uproar on this issue. Preparations are also being made to introduce several other bills in the monsoon session.

What is special in the National Sports Governance Bill?

The sports bill passed amidst uproar in Parliament. After passing this bill, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandavia said that it is unfortunate that there was no participation of opposition in this important bill and reform. Let us understand the new provision of this bill.

• According to the sports bill, the central government will have the power to issue instructions in the national interest. Along with this, the government will also have power to ban. With this, it can be understood that the government can ban Team India and players from playing international matches in some important cases. Generally, a situation of ban on the match between India and Pakistan arises.
• The Sports Bill proposed a proposal related to the National Sports Tribunal, which gives the powers to the civil court that it can settle the disputes that come from the selection of federations and athletes to the election. The decision of the civil court can only be challenged in the Supreme Court.
• A strictness has been implemented in the Sports Bill that all National Sports Federations (NSFs) will have to get permission from the Central Government from the Central Government first from the National Sports Board (NSB).
• The Sports Minister said that ‘these two bills will be given transparent, reliable and world class sports ecosystem, so that India can be fully prepared for 2036 Olympics’.
• Mansukh Mandavia said that ‘National Sports Governance bill emphasizes change. Despite being such a big country, our performance at the Olympic Games and International Level is not satisfactory. With the help of this bill, we can increase India’s sports capacity ‘.

On Monday (August 11, 2025) in the Rajya Sabha, the opposition Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge protested against the demonetisation of three Bills in the opposition’s uproar on the issue of special intensive revision of the voter list in Bihar, protesting that this does not happen in democracy. At the same time, the leader of the House JP Nadda said that democracy must be protected but the House cannot be made hostage.

After a one -time adjournment, the Manipur Budget and Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill 2025 and the Commercial Ship Transport Bill were approved by the Development of the Upper House at 2 pm.

When the Manipur Budget and Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill were being discussed in the House briefly, the opposition MPs wanted the Leader of the Opposition to be allowed to speak Mallikarjun Kharge. These members were raising uproar and slogans against the ongoing SIR process in Bihar.

Sitharaman criticized opposition for opposing Manipur’s budget

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized the opposition for opposing Manipur’s budget. He said that the opposition speaks about Manipur, but when his budget and GST Bill is being discussed, he is not only opposing any other issue, but also votes against him. Opposition MPs were heard saying ‘no’ during the voice polling on the bill.

After this, the Minister of Ship Transport and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal introduced the ‘Commerce Shipping Bill, 2025’ to discuss and pass. Meanwhile, Kharge was allowed to speak from the seat. Kharge said that there is no system in the House, there is a ruckus, yet important bills are being passed. He said, “This does not happen in democracy.”

Could not make the house hostage- JP Nadda

On this, the House leader JP Nadda said, “Democracy should be protected. Of course it should be. But the House cannot be held hostage. ”Nadda said that the opposition, who agreed to pass the bill in the work advisory committee, obstructed it. He said that efforts are being made to bring peace in Manipur for two years and today when two Bills of Manipur were discussed in the House, it is surprising to see the behavior of the opposition.

Opposition members protested strongly on this matter of Nadda and the uproar intensified. Presiding Chairman Surendra Singh Nagar adjourned the meeting till 3 o’clock at 50 minutes. When the meeting started again at three o’clock, Kharge started to speak with the permission of the posture. He mentioned the front taken by the opposition on the issue of SIR today and said that this is an important issue.

Kharge could not even complete his talk that the members of the ruling party started protesting. Opposition members objected to this. He walked out of the House, alleging that the Leader of Opposition is not allowed to speak.

Opposition surrounded the issue of Manipur

Nadda said, “This behavior of the opposition is condemnable. The government is ready to discuss every subject. At the beginning of the session, we had said that we are ready to discuss the issue of operation vermilion and Pahalgam attack. During the discussion on these issues, everyone saw how the opposition’s attitude was. ”

The Union Minister said, “It has to be said with sadness that those who were the champions of Manipur today expressed strong opposition instead of discussing the issue of Manipur.” Their attitude is that either they should be heard or they will disrupted. This is not correct.”

After this, after brief discussion, the House passed the re -adjustment bill of “Goa State, Assembly Constituency Scheduled Tribes Representation” after brief discussion. After the passage of this bill, many members raised their issues related to public importance through special mention. After this, the proceedings of the House were adjourned for the whole day at around 04:05 pm.
