“Don’t Turn Parliament into a Party Office”: TMC’s Saayoni Ghosh Fires Back During No-Confidence Motion

In a fiery intervention during the No-Confidence Motion debate in Parliament, TMC MP Saayoni Ghosh launched a blistering attack on the BJP-led central government. Accusing the ruling party of undermining democratic institutions, she warned, “Do not turn the Parliament into your party office.” Ghosh alleged a clear bias in the functioning of the House, claiming that key opposition figures like Rahul Gandhi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Akhilesh Yadav are being systematically silenced or restricted from citing references during their speeches.

Highlighting a series of procedural concerns, the actor-turned-politician pointed out how the Railway Budget has been scrapped and crucial bills are being tabled at midnight without proper scrutiny. She noted with irony that while the opposition is barred from quoting texts or books, the “favorites” of the government enjoy unprecedented freedom within the House. Standing firmly by Rahul Gandhi and the broader opposition front, Saayoni condemned the selective application of parliamentary rules. Her speech underscored the growing friction between the Treasury and Opposition benches, emphasizing that the sanctity of Parliament as a space for public discourse must be protected at all costs.
