Adani, language rows in House as 2 bills cleared
Hindustan Times|December 04, 2024
Members of Parliament were locked in heated exchanges on several occasions during Tuesday's sitting in both Houses as Opposition protests over the Adani Group controversy and a heated language politics debate overshadowed legislative proceedings, though the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha managed to pass key bills amid the tumult.

Opposition leaders, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, staged a protest at Parliament's Makar Dwar entrance, demanding accountability from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over allegations against Adani Group, while inside the chambers, a banking bill debate devolved into a bitter exchange over language politics.

Lok Sabha passed the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which introduces significant changes to banking regulations and Rajya Sabha cleared the Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Bill, 2024the first pieces legislative business to have been carried out since the Winter Session was convened on November 25.

While both sides struck an agreement on Monday to end the logjam, the Opposition began the day with a protest to press the government over the controversy relating to Adani Group. The protests outside Parliament halls saw members from multiple INDIA bloc parties, including the Congress, AAP, RJD, Shiv Sena (UBT), DMK, and Left parties, gathering with banners and raising slogans questioning Modi's silence on the Adani issue.

The strangeness of hatred for the Other

To be honest, I'm struggling for the right word. I wouldn't call it inexplicable because that suggests it cannot be explained. Nor would I call it deplorable though if others did, I wouldn't rush to disagree. No, I'd perhaps plump for strange, in the sense of both bizarre and bewildering. But is that the mot juste? I'm not sure.
