Confrontation of these issues in the budget session
Opposition parties are trying to surround the government in the budget session on several issues, including the ongoing farmers’ agitation against the opposition to the three new agricultural laws, the border dispute with China. In such a situation, the house is functioning smoothly, so the central government is trying to convince the opposition parties.
Boycott of speech
The President announced the first budget session of the new decade in Parliament on Friday and a total of 18 opposition parties boycotted the President’s address. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi again said that the government should find a solution about the farmers’ movement.
In a show of solidarity with the farmers, 17 opposition parties had announced a boycott of President Kovind’s address. These farmers have been demonstrating on the borders of Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur including Delhi since 26 November.
Thanksgiving offer
