"Unfortunately, the first few days of the 18th lok sabha have not been promising at all. She said, "Any expectation that we could witness a shift in mentality has been shattered.
According to convention, the opposition should have been awarded the position of Deputy Speaker in the lok sabha, according to the head of the congress Parliamentary Party.
"This perfectly reasonable request was found unacceptable by a regime that had not filled the Constitutional position of Deputy Speaker in the 17th lok sabha," she stated.
The position of Deputy Speaker was unoccupied from 2019 to 24 even though M Thambi Durai, an ally of the bjp at the time, held it during the first term of the nda administration.

ON EMERGENCY
Sonia gandhi claimed that the prime minister brought up the Emergency in order to deflect attention from the BJP's battle against the congress and the attack on the Constitution.
The Speaker, "whose position is incompatible with any public political stance other than one of strict impartiality," raised it, which gandhi described as "astonishing."

"It is historical truth that our nation's citizens expressed a clear opinion on the Emergency in march 1977, and that opinion was enthusiastically and unquestioningly embraced. It is also very much a part of that history that the party that was deposed in march 1977 and brought back to power less than three years later, with a majority that Modi and his party never managed to secure, the speaker added.
Additionally, the President and Vice President declared the Emergency to be the "darkest chapter" and a "direct attack on the Constitution" in their speech to a joint session of Parliament.
