In an interview, SP’s Rajya Sabha MP Javed Ali Khan, who is from Sambhal district, talks astir the protests successful Parliament connected Monday, what his enactment plans to bash connected the Sambhal issue, and the INDIA alliance.

Excerpts:

What happened implicit the Opposition’s request regarding the bribery allegations against the Adani Group?

The announcement connected the Adani matter was submitted by the Congress. Kharge ji (Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge) wanted to talk connected the substance but the Chairman (Jagdeep Dhankhar) did not let it. Secondly, 2 different members and I gave an adjournment announcement connected the contented of the constabulary firing successful Sambhal. But each the notices were rejected.

The BJP is arguing that the Adani Group is simply a backstage concern conglomerate and that it would deal with the substance itself.

When an enquiry tin beryllium done successful different country, wherefore are agencies regulating specified matters successful India not progressive connected it? And even if the matter concerns only a backstage group, the wealth progressive successful it belongs to the country. Why won’t a treatment beryllium held connected this and wherefore can’t the authorities and Parliament not instrumentality cognizance if determination is simply a anticipation of a large loss? The wealth belongs to the state and its people.

What volition beryllium your determination successful the House connected the Sambhal contented successful the coming days?

We volition research if immoderate judicial remedy is possible. We are successful consultation with ineligible experts. We volition rise the contented successful Parliament too.

The NDA won 7 of the 9 Assembly bypolls successful UP, including Kundarki, which was a large nonaccomplishment for your party. 

Everything is clear. Several videos surfaced from Meerapur, Kundarki, Majhawan, Phulpur, and Kanpur (Sisamau) showing the misuse of authorities machinery connected a ample scale. Genuine voters were not allowed to formed votes and bogus voting took place. The grounds appeared successful the media and societal media and we demanded repoll successful 3 constituencies. But this request and the grounds were not accepted. This is ‘nakli jeet (fake win)’ of the BJP. Any bureau tin spell and cheque the ink marks connected the fingers of voters successful these constituencies. Only 10% of the voters volition person that people successful Kundarki. People person not formed their ballot there. The police, the administration, and RSS workers were down the bogus voting.

After the INDIA bloc’s decision successful Haryana and Maharashtra, questions are being raised astir the Congress’s role. The TMC said Mamata Banerjee indispensable beryllium recognised arsenic a person of the alliance. Do you agree?

No 1 enactment should beryllium blamed. The INDIA bloc arsenic a full should rethink its strategy. Is it an confederation oregon not? Is this confederation existing only in the media oregon is it connected the crushed too? If confederation partners are not fixed owed respect and owed share, then what is the constituent of this alliance? If determination is nary communal agenda, past what is this alliance? Is the INDIA bloc lone a level for seat-sharing oregon is it a political-ideological alliance? We indispensable deliberation afresh. This confederation should beryllium tally politically and ideologically, and if determination is nary privation to tally it that way, and lone seat-sharing has to beryllium done, past specified an confederation has nary benefits.
