Stormy Start : Prime Minister Narendra Modi Slams Opposition’s Negative Mindset On First Day Of Monsoon Session

Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the Opposition for creating a ruckus and preventing him from introducing newly-inducted Union ministers in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, saying such a ‘negative mindset’ has never been seen in Parliament.

As the prime minister rose in Lok Sabha to introduce the new ministers, Opposition members created an uproar by raising slogans.

Dismayed over the disruption, Modi said, it should make everyone proud that several women, many people belonging to the SC and ST community have taken oath as ministers.

“It seems some people cannot digest that more women, SC, ST and OBC community members are becoming ministers”, Modi said, and noted that several new ministers are children of farmers and also belong to OBC communities.

In Rajya Sabha also, the Prime Minister could not introduce the newly-inducted ministers as several slogan-shouting opposition members trooped into the well of the House to protest over various issues.

The prime minister slammed the Opposition over it, echoing the views expressed by him in Lok Sabha.

“It is a matter of pride that people from rural India, who come from ordinary families have taken oath as ministers. But some people don’t want ministers to be introduced.

“They also have an anti-women mindset since they do not want women ministers to be introduced to the House,” he said.
