Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was also among the protesters. On Wednesday December 11, 2024 also, the Opposition MPs protested on the Parliament premises where they gave rose flowers and Indian flags to NDA MPs as a unique way of protesting.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Thursday staged a conter protest against Congress on the Parliament premises accusing the party leadership of having links with Hungarian-American billionaire philanthropist George Soros.
Giriraj Singh held pictures of Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Soros.
The logjam over BJP’s demand for a discussion on alleged links between Congress and George Soros led to adjournments in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju slamming the INDIA bloc parties over their no-confidence motion against Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.
In the Rajya Sabha, Leader of the House and Union Minister JP Nadda alleged that a senior Congress leader had links with US billionaire George Soros and these should be discussed in the House because it is a matter related to India’s sovereignty and its security
He alleged that INDIA bloc allegations against the Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar were a design to deviate from the issue.
“In the last two days we have been raising the issue of the connection between George Soros and the senior leadership of the Congress. What is the relation between Sonia Gandhi and George Soros? This is a matter of the nation’s internal and external security. This is also a matter of India’s sovereignty. This is the question of the sovereignty of the country and the major opposition party and the relationship between George Soros should be discussed,” Nadda said in the Rajya Sabha.
