CM Sawant pays tributes to Swami Vivekananda at Damodar Sal

Congress MP Pramod Tiwari on Thursday strongly criticised the central government following an assassination attempt on National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah at a wedding in Jammu, asserting that the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Government of India are directly responsible for lapses in security measures.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut launched a sharp attack against the Centre over the LPG cylinder shortage across the country amid the ongoing West Asia conflict, saying that the government's assurances were proven wrong.

"First, this government increases the prices of commercial and domestic LPG. The war has been going on nine or ten days and there is a gas shortage. Along with this, there is an instruction that domestic gas will not be booked before 25 days in cities. For this shortage, the Petroleum Ministry of the Government of India is entirely responsible," Tiwari told ANI outside Parliament.

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday moved a notice seeking a short-duration discussion on "emerging challenges for India's energy security."

Congress MP Mallu Ravi, one of the three MPs bringing in the No Confidence Motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, said that the Parliament is "not for suppressing debate."
