SP chief Akhilesh Yadav calls government’s proposed Parliament response time limit ‘undemocratic’

Published by Webster

Amid the ongoing Parliament Monsoon Session, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday lashed out at the Central government for attempting to set a “time limit” for its response in Parliament, describing the move as “undemocratic” and an attempt to provide “empty statements” rather than genuine answers. संसद में जवाब देने के लिए सरकार जो समय-सीमा तय करना चाहती है, वो स्वयं में अलोकतांत्रिक है। दरअसल ये जवाब नहीं होगा, थोथा बयान होगा। सच तो ये है कि भाजपा चाह ही नहीं रही है कि कोई जवाब दिया जाए, वो तो सत्र का समापन करने के लिए उतावली है। ज़िम्मेदारी और जवाबदेही समय की किसी शर्त… — Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) August 12, 2026 Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
