The first session of the 18th Lok Sabha will begin on Monday amid the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) accusing the Opposition INDIA bloc of "insulting the people's mandate" by questioning its choice of pro-tem Speaker. The Opposition hit back, alleging that the government "flouted parliamentary norms" by picking a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member and overlooking the claim of the seniormost Lok Sabha member, who happens to be a Congress member.
It is rare for a special session, devoted chiefly to administering oath or affirmation to the newly elected Lok Sabha members, electing the Speaker, and discussing the President's address to the joint sitting of Parliament, to have begun on such a fractious note.
"In a parliamentary democracy, 'solemn occasions' (such as the special session) demand courteous expressions and dignified conduct. None should insult the people's mandate," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Saturday. Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said the manner in which the government has picked the Speaker pro-tem or relocated the statues of Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar on the premises of Parliament are all "signals" that the "bulldozing tactics" of the ruling party would continue, "which are now going to be met with a counter bulldozer" since the Opposition now has nearly matching numbers.
