New Delhi, Nov 29 – Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the newly sworn-in Congress MP, made her presence felt in the Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after taking oath, by joining the ongoing opposition protest. Standing in solidarity with her fellow lawmakers, she was seen near her seat as several opposition MPs, including Congress and Samajwadi Party members, protested in the House over the Sambhal violence and other pressing issues.
As the protest intensified, Priyanka Gandhi stood with the opposition members, showing her support for the cause. Amid the commotion, she took a moment to greet her colleagues from various opposition parties. She was seen interacting with MPs from the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), displaying solidarity with the collective stand of the opposition.
Solidarity with the Opposition
While the protest was primarily focused on the recent Sambhal violence and the government’s handling of various issues, Gandhi’s gesture of joining the protest symbolized her firm stance on the ongoing matters that are important to the opposition parties.
During the protest, as Priyanka Gandhi moved closer to the front row of the opposition benches to greet other MPs, DMK MP Kanimozhi was seen gesturing for her to take a seat beside her. Gandhi had a brief exchange with Kanimozhi before moving on to greet and interact with other opposition MPs.
Interaction with Opposition Leaders
Priyanka Gandhi’s presence in the protest highlighted her active role within the Congress Party and its coordination with other opposition forces. Her interaction with leaders like Kanimozhi and other MPs underscored the growing unity within the opposition, particularly on issues related to law and order, communal violence, and governance.
The Congress MP’s participation in the protest, so soon after her induction into Parliament, reinforced her commitment to the party’s ideological stand and her involvement in holding the government accountable for various actions that the opposition deems controversial.
Leader of the Opposition’s Support
While Priyanka Gandhi stood in solidarity with the protest, Mallikarjun Kharge, the Leader of the Opposition, was also actively participating in the protest, leading the opposition charge on the floor of the House. The Congress and other opposition parties have been vocal about issues such as the Sambhal violence, the rising incidents of communal strife, and the government’s response to these matters.
Conclusion
With Priyanka Gandhi’s visible involvement in the Lok Sabha protest, it is clear that her role as an MP will be closely aligned with the Congress’ position in the ongoing national discourse. Her joining the opposition protest signals her commitment to raising issues of national importance and standing up for those affected by violence and injustice.
