Parliamentarian Of The Year Awards ceremony in Delhi. Jury members who selected me ‘Parliamentarian Of The Year’ are all fellow MPs. Being recognized by peers is what makes it so special

Every alternate Friday, I write for the Indian Express #ZeroHour

My column for Indian Express

PM Narendra Modi and his team continue to MOCK PARLIAMENT. For the 8th time in a row, BJP CUTS SHORT a #Parliament session. They announce dates and then run away. Winter Session over a week ahead of time.

My intervention in #Parliament today

For six years (since Nov 2016) this Government has NOT ALLOWED EVEN ONE DISCUSSION to be held on any matter raised by the Opposition, under Rule 267

90 second VIDEO

Raised a Point of Order in #Parliament today under Rule 29 on the timing of the Defence Minister's statement on the Yangtse incident in the Tawang Sector in Arunachal Pradesh. Urged govt to let Oppn participate in discussion once the statement is made

We all care deeply about our army & our soldiers
