Amid chaos, Congress leaders alleged in the Lok Sabha on Monday that democracy is being ''murdered'' in the House. Congress leaders like  Manish Tewari and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury attacked the government as it introduced three bills in the House and got as many passed as Opposition members continued with their protests over the Pegasus snooping controversy, except when a Constitution amendment bill was tabled. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi emphasized that the government wants long and constructive debates in Parliament and urged the Opposition members to go back to their seats so that discussions on the bills could begin.

RSP's NK Premachandran mentioned that three bills were passed in 10 minutes and likened it to ''cooking dosas''. ''We are ready for day-long discussions. Narendra Modi government is bringing bills for the welfare of the Other Backward Classes and tribals. We will accept your suggestions,'' he said. A combined Opposition has been demanding that the House debate the Pegasus issue first.

Both Tewari and Chowdhury alleged that democracy is being ''murdered'' with the government pushing ahead with its legislative agenda in such a manner as the House has not been in order. Joshi's deputy Arjun Ram Meghwal accused the Congress leaders of making wrong statements.
