Threats of sanctions will boomerang under PM Modi's leadership: Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and said under his leadership any threats of sanctions would boomerang.
In this edition of Newstrack, the focus is on the Government versus Opposition showdown on the first day of the Winter Session of Parliament. Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the opposition of 'drama' and stalling proceedings due to electoral setbacks. Countering this, Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stated, 'Speaking about issues, raising issues is not drama. Drama is not allowing discussion.' The opposition, represented by Congress MP Manikam Tagore and TMC MP Sushmita Dev, demanded a discussion on the 'Special Intensive Revision' (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging the deletion of legitimate voters in Bihar. BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi defended the government, suggesting a debate on 'Vande Mataram' instead.
