Parliamentary proceedings: Are we not part of this nation, asks Manipur MP in Lok Sabha

The Hindu  

The discussion on the Constitution’s 75 years continued in the Lok Sabha on Saturday. While Outer Manipur MP Alfred Kanngam Arthur cited the Oting killings of 2021 in Nagaland and the ongoing conflict in Manipur to raise questions about the government’s commitment to Constitution, first-time MP Chandra Shekhar “Azad” asked whether certain sections of society in India were as free as the Constitution envisioned them to be. Parliament Winter Session 2024 Day 16 updates: December 14, 2024 “Where was the Constitution on the day of the Oting massacre?” asked Mr. Arthur of the Congress.. Stating that the BJP had nominated an MP from Oting to the Rajya Sabha, he asked if it was enough to assuage the people’s concerns. During the discussion, Azad Samaj Party MP from U.P.’s Nagina, Chandra Shekhar hailed the Constitution and its framers, saying that whatever progress the most marginalised sections of society had made was because of the Constitution. But they don’t care about our resources, land being taken away.” Both Mr. Hansdak and Mr. Chandra Shekhar also raised their voices against privatisation of government entities, with both arguing that this was a “backdoor assault” on reservation.
