“Government Resorting To Hitler-Shahi”, Says Kharge On Mic Being Turned Off In Parliament

Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, said on Tuesday that the INDIA alliance will not be scared and would defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He also accused the government of “insulting” him by shutting off his microphone and stopping the opposition from speaking in Parliament.

He asserted that nation is being ruled by “dictatorship and Hitler-shahi” rather than democracy and that the BJP government was attempting to intimidate and threaten the opposition parties in Parliament.

Despite being the head of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mr. Kharge claimed he was being humiliated in Parliament and was not being given the opportunity to speak.

“There is no democracy, instead this government was resorting to dictatorship and Hitler-shahi,” he said.

“No matter how much injustice the government does with the opposition, they will keep on fighting against the ruling dispensation and will defeat them in 2024,” he mentioned.

What (kind of) democracy is this, this is dictatorship. I would say this is Hitler-shahi…. I feel sad with the manner in which Parliament is functioning,” he told reporters at the Vijay Chowk with several opposition leaders around him.

“They say that the country is moving forward, but they are the ones who is pushing the country behind,” he alleged.

“We sit there to hear others, but no one is ready to listen to us and when we rise to say something, they oppose us and create din. They are not ready to listen to us.” Claiming that his mike has been shut even when the chair allowed him to speak, he said, “My mike is shut within 10 seconds. I feel they have insulted the opposition leader.” AAP MP Sanjay Singh raised a question following rules, but he was suspended, Mr Kharge claimed.

“The government is doing such things and we will continue to fight them. INDIA parties will not be cowed down or afraid of the government. We will not run away and we will fight them and will defeat in 2024 polls,” Mr Kharge asserted.
