Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Saturday (August 30, 2025) said pressure must be applied if a party leader shows no interest in debates and discussions and instead resorts to ruckus and political theatrics, as it ultimately harms the Members of Parliament.The Minister also advised younger MPs to resist orders from their leaders to disrupt the House.
Addressing advocates of the Karnataka High Court on 'Parliamentary System in the Largest Democracy in the World', Mr. Rijiju said, "Pressure must be generated if the leader of a party is not interested in any debates and discussion except creating ruckus and political drama to create a narrative." According to him, the disruptions in Parliament result in a loss for the MPs, not the government, which enjoys majority.
