Today, only one question related to the Ministry of Tourism could be asked in the Question Hour, while the opposition MPs, like last week, came to the Well of the House and kept raising slogans regarding their demands.
The Lok Sabha Speaker repeatedly urged the Leader of the Opposition and the Deputy Leader to make their MPs understand, but the opposition MPs stood with their placards in front of the Speaker’s chair and many times in front of Union Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. The opposition was seen protesting inside and outside the Parliament on the issue of discussion on the Special Incentive Revision of Voter List in Bihar. Ultimately, the proceedings had to be adjourned due to continuous disruption.
On Monday, the first day of the second week of the monsoon session, as soon as the announcement of starting the Question Hour was made, the opposition MPs came to the Well of the House and started waving the placards. They were raising slogans in favor of their demands. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla first allowed Dushyant Singh, who was elected to the Parliament from Jhalawar, Rajasthan, to ask questions related to the Ministry of Tourism in the Question Hour. Bharatiya Janata Party MP Dushyant Singh asked questions related to the Ministry of Tourism, especially about the steps being taken by the government towards zero plastic waste in hotels. He suggested incentivizing people in this sector to stop using plastic waste.
On the question of MP Dushyant Singh, Union Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat answered in detail about the schemes of the Central Government. Meanwhile, the opposition MPs stood in front of the Lok Sabha Speaker’s seat and kept waving placards and raising slogans. Union Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat tried to answer the questions of the BJP MP. He informed about the decision taken towards making the hotel industry environment friendly. He said that in this regard, provision has also been made to appoint environment friend and environment tourism friend. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been constantly focusing on zero plastic. Initiatives have been taken in this matter as per his decision. He said that this is the reason why zero plastic waste was seen in Kumbh bath last year.
On the question of lack of skilled professionals in the tourism sector, the Union Tourism Minister said that in this case, arrangements have been made to train the youth as per the business through joint efforts of educational institutes, international hotels, state government and private sector and its results are also being seen.
