Amit Shah says Rahul Gandhi has made Parliament boycott a Congress hallmark

BJP national president Amit Shah asserted that Rahul Gandhi has turned the practice of boycotting Parliament into a defining feature of the Congress party. Shah made the remark during a press briefing, emphasizing the need for all elected representatives to attend parliamentary sessions.
He pointed to recent instances where Congress MPs missed crucial debates and votes, describing the pattern as a deliberate strategy to undermine the legislature. Shah warned that such behaviour erodes democratic norms and hampers the functioning of the government.
The BJP leader called on the opposition to respect the institution of Parliament and to engage constructively in law‑making. He urged the Speaker to ensure that the House operates without unnecessary disruptions.
Shah's comments come amid a broader political debate over parliamentary attendance, with both sides accusing each other of politicising procedural matters.
