It is distressing to see Assembly proceedings stalled due to opposition protests,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He condemned Congress members for using musical instruments like cymbals and trumpets to create disruptions, calling their behavior inappropriate. \u201cThese instruments belong in social and religious events, not the Assembly. We urge the Opposition to participate in legislative discussions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joined by works and law minister Prithiviraj Harichandan and forest minister Ganesh Ram Singhkhuntia, Pujari highlighted that opposition protests from March 10 to 18 led to a loss of nearly 35 hours of legislative business. \u201cOur salaries come from taxpayers\u2019 money. We owe it to them to ensure the Assembly functions properly,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Responding to Pujari, Congress leader Tara Prasad Bahinipati countered, \u201cIt is the treasury bench\u2019s responsibility to take the Opposition along, but they fail to do so. The public expects them to run the House, not just blame others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Congress is demanding a House Committee to investigate alleged rising crimes against women and the sexual abuse of girl children in state-run residential school hostels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BJD member Goutam Buddha Das held the government responsible for the deadlock. \u201cLet them resolve the issue. We are ready to cooperate if they agree to discuss our concerns,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opposition holds government responsible for impasse By Manoj
