Union Home Minister Amit Shah told reporters that the government is prepared for the upcoming SIR debate and called on the Congress party to stop obstructing parliamentary business.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the media, stating that the Modi administration has made all necessary arrangements to engage in the scheduled debate on the Special Investigation Report (SIR). He emphasized that the government is fully equipped to discuss the findings and respond to any queries raised in Parliament.
Shah also directed his remarks towards the opposition, urging the Congress party to refrain from disrupting parliamentary proceedings. He argued that a functional legislature is essential for democratic governance and that political point‑scoring should not come at the cost of legislative paralysis.
The minister’s comments come as the Lok Sabha prepares to schedule the SIR debate, a topic that has drawn sharp criticism from opposition members. While the government maintains that the report will be examined transparently, Congress leaders have signaled intent to raise procedural objections.
Analysts note that Shah’s statement underscores the ruling party’s confidence in handling the debate, while also highlighting the growing tension between the two major political blocs over parliamentary decorum.
The debate is expected to be tabled in the coming weeks, with both sides preparing their arguments ahead of the scheduled session.
