Congress leader P. <keyword id="6362104" type="General" weightage="90" keywordseo="chidambaram" source="Orion">Chidambaram</keyword> on Wednesday took a swipe at the government citing a debate in UK <keyword id="6354721" type="General" weightage="40" keywordseo="parliament" source="Orion">Parliament</keyword> between Prime Minister <keyword id="221875" type="General" weightage="70" keywordseo="rishi-sunak" source="Orion">Rishi Sunak</keyword> and opposition members after his return from India following G20 Summit, and said he wished such a debate took place in India's Parliament. Chidambaram in his post on X said, "Please read the reports of the debate in the House of Commons when MPs questioned Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on his talks with Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi. Hard questions by the Opposition, prompt answers by the Prime Minister." "It is not important who prevailed in the debate. What is important is that a debate took place in Parliament within hours of the Prime Minister's return to Britain. How I wish such a debate took place in India's Parliament. Such questions and answers were normal in Parliament when Jawaharlal Nehru was prime minister," the former Union minister said. His remarks came after Sunak returned to the UK after attending the G20 Summit in India and answered the questions of opposition leaders. The Congress has been critical of the Modi government over not allowing debates in Parliament over important issues. The Congress has on previous occasions accused the government of not allowing the opposition members to speak in Parliament on several pressing issues.

He urged all lawmakers to give maximum time to the special session of Parliament. "I urge all members to give maximum time to this special session of Parliament." "This Parliament session may be small in duration but is big on occasion, it is a session of historic developments," he added. In his remarks to the media ahead of the five-day session, Modi highlighted India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, the "unprecedented" success of its G20 presidency, the launch of 'PM Vishwakarma Mission' and inauguration of convention centre Yashobhoomi, asserting that many developments which have inspired the country and filled it with pride have taken place. There is an atmosphere of festivity and enthusiasm, and the country has been filled with renewed self-confidence, he said, asking parliamentarians to give maximum time to the short session. In an apparent reference to frequent protests by opposition members during previous sessions, often leading to disruptions of proceedings, Modi hoped everyone will shed shortcomings and carry the goodness as they move into the new building of Parliament on Ganesh Chaturthi on Tuesday. The Parliament session begins Monday and will end on Friday. On the Parliament's agenda On Sunday, the meeting of all the floor leaders of political parties in the Parliament was attended by various ministers including Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who is also Leader of the House in <keyword id="48510" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rajya-sabha" source="Orion">Rajya Sabha</keyword>, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and Union Minister V Muraleedharan and 51 leaders from 34 parties.

PM Modi says Parliament's session may be short but 'big on occasion' — schedule and what's on the agenda

A new camera developed by students at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) could be a solution to this problem, said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "I especially like the solution for the camera to detect who is paying attention. Now what will happen you know, I will talk to my Speaker in Parliament and I am sure it will be very useful to Parliament," Modi said during the prize distribution ceremony at the Singapore-India Hackathon Event. The famous dozing MPs Napping in parliament has become a fairly common occurrence with at least one politician grabbing the limelight every season. HD Deve Gowda became infamous in his short stint as Prime Minister for regularly dozing off during Parliamentary sessions. But he was not the only one. Since then, everyone from the former President Pranab Mukherjee to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, have been caught on camera sleeping in the background as other MPs go about their unending speeches. Smriti Irani, India’s former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and Santosh Gangwar are among the many others have also been spotted catching a quick nap in the Lok Sabha. Back in 2011, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s catnaps became common enough for the Lok Sabha speaker to issue an order to wake him up, as he snoozed off in the very first row. Others may not necessarily nod off, but they are seen zoned out of the conversation as they rub eyes, and fight off fatigue. Not just India India isn’t the only country fighting against his phenomenon. Many MPs in the British House of Commons has been seen dozing off too. So much so that more than one petition has been endorsed by the public to bring in consequences for MPs found to be asleep — like cutting off their salaries, which are funded by taxpayer money. The <a href="https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/255879">UK Parliament</a> always rejected these petitions saying that MPs are not employed by the Parliament, and do not fall under the responsibility of the UK government.

"I expect to see full and effective enforcement of the law."Hoyle contacted the police following <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/e93606ce-5527-11ec-9b65-68b0858e7bd3?shareToken=a2c6bb11d5e98110ea5ee2a815fbc3fd">a Sunday Times report</a> that pointed to the use of illegal drugs in Parliament buildings. Drug detection wipes found traces of cocaine in 11 out of 12 bathrooms tested on the premises, according the report, including a lavatory close to British Prime Minister <keyword id="11911533" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="boris-johnson" source="Orion">Boris Johnson</keyword>'s office. The bathrooms tested included some only accessible to those who hold parliamentary passes, including lawmakers, staffers, and journalists. "I have seen an MP (member of Parliament) openly snorting cocaine at a party," one source told the Sunday Times. "There were journalists present and I warned them that what they were doing was extremely dangerous and they could be exposed but they seemed to get off on the power trip."The paper, citing a Westminster veteran, reported that there's a "cocaine culture" in Parliament that includes both "household names" and "ambitious young MPs and officials." "They think they are untouchable, protected by their friends in the bubble. It's shocking but also sad. Lots of them need help," the source said. The report also said that cannabis was being "used openly" at Westminster. A spokesperson for Johnson said the reports of drug use at Westminster "are concerning."Amid the fresh concerns over drug use at the UK Parliament, Johnson has launched <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/boris-johnsons-new-10-year-drugs-plan-promises-to-close-down-2-000-county-lines-supplies-12487667">a new anti-drug campaign</a> that saw him dress up as a police officer in Liverpool on Monday. "This government is absolutely determined to fight drugs. I take the view that it's a long time really since you've heard a government say that drugs, class A drugs, are bad, bad for society, bad for opportunity, bad kids growing up in this country. That's my view," <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1467882723108818947?s=20">Johnson said</a> in a TV interview on Monday.

I could wander around, I could have a gin and tonic, a cup of coffee... or I could join him, and his preferred option was to watch the State Opening on BBC, which is what I did with him, and wait until Her Majesty's return," he added. "They don't actually lock me up, but they made it quite clear that I wasn't going anywhere," Fitzpatrick added.

One MP Insider spoke to on Monday said their inbox had been flooded with complaints by their constituents following the report.However, parliamentary authorities reportedly U-turned on the decision to allow late-night drinking following the report on Monday, with a spokesperson saying that "no outlet on the Parliamentary Estate will be selling alcohol after 10 pm, with immediate effect."However, parliament's cafes and restaurants will continue to remain exempt from the restrictions.A parliamentary spokesperson later denied a U-turn insisting to Insider that the House of Commons Speaker had in fact decided to lift the exemptions last Thursday following the implementation of the new guidance.The new rules have been hugely controversial due to scenes of large crowds piling onto town centres and public transport, with even members of Boris Johnson's government questioning the rules.One anonymous Conservative MP <a href="https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/london-playbook/politico-london-playbook-trump-tax-bombshell-lockdown-looms-light-meet-tunnel/">told Politico</a>: "Which clown-faced moron thought it would be a good idea to kick thousands of pissed people out from the pubs into the street and onto the tube at the same time?
