The govt is not allowing us to speak in Rajya Sabha. In context of Rule 267, since past 11 days, we are trying to speak on Manipur. Manipur unrest is not a small issue. We want the PM to speak on Manipur. He is busy in election campaigning. There has been loot, arson and burning of public and private property in Manipur but the PM is not ready to speak.

00:00 Today we are holding this press conference because the government is not allowing us
00:16 to speak in the Rajya Sabha.
00:20 Under Rule 267, we have been discussing Manipur for the past 11 days.
00:33 Manipur is not a small incident.
00:43 This is a major incident in the country.
00:50 We wanted the Prime Minister to come to the Sabha and give his views.
01:03 This is not a question of the Home Minister alone.
01:13 The information that the Prime Minister receives is not available to the Home Minister.
01:23 There are limitations in this.
01:26 The Prime Minister is not ready to come to the Sabha and give his views.
01:36 He is in the election campaign, going to Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and today he is in Pune.
01:46 There is an event where he leaves the Parliament and goes there and speaks against the opposition party.
02:01 Let him go anywhere, he will stop the opposition party.
02:06 The Prime Minister should not be in the Sabha and give his views.
02:16 He should give his views outside.
02:18 He should not be outside and give his views.
02:22 He should come to the Sabha and give his views.
02:26 We will also give our views and answer all your questions.
02:33 But he is going outside and telling.
02:37 He is taking advantage of all these things to make election propaganda.
02:45 He is making election speeches.
02:48 He is doing.
02:49 But he is not ready to do.
02:52 One small statement in the House on Manipur issue, where more than 200 people have died, 5000 people are injured, nearly 60,000 people have vacated their houses.
03:16 More than many houses destroyed.
03:23 Everything happened there.
03:26 Even though it happened, Modi ji does not want to come and talk.
03:36 I have repeatedly said that there is a big difference between the government and the PM.
03:58 In 176, there can be a discussion for 2-2.5 hours.
04:06 But in 267, there can be a long discussion.
04:10 People from every party can talk.
04:14 And if you decide the time in the Parliament for 2.5 hours, then each party, the major party will get 15 minutes.
04:24 The rest of the people will get 10 minutes.
04:27 And the small parties will get 2 minutes each.
04:31 You tell me, such a big incident.
04:34 So many people, on one hand, women are being paraded naked.
04:40 They are beating, shops are burning, motor cars are burning.
04:47 Who is doing all this?
04:50 And they say that their Home Minister was there for 3 days.
04:55 If he was there for 3 days, then why didn't this problem be solved?
05:01 Why is it increasing now?
05:04 We have to ask them this.
05:08 And we have to see what answer we get.
05:11 or be dead now. (upbeat music)
