New Delhi: With the first day of the monsoon session in Parliament underway, political parties found a lot of scope to voice their respective grudges and allegations both online and offline.
Here is some appreciation for Jaya Bachchan’s stout defense of Bollywood in Parliament
जया जी को सादर प्रणाम भेजता हूँ। जिनको पता नहीं वो देख लें। रीढ़ की हड्डी ऐसी दिखती है। pic.twitter.com/HUbQz8uu9t

But actor Kangana Ranaut thinks it’s all about her and doesn’t appreciate Bachchan’s remarks.
Jaya ji would you say the same thing if in my place it was your daughter Shweta beaten, drugged and molested as a teenage, would you say the same thing if Abhieshek complained about bullying and harassment constantly and found hanging one day? Show compassion for us also 🙏 https://t.co/gazngMu2bA

Is there a warning in this for the Bachchans?

Well, good to know Amitabh Bachchan isn’t jaded by the hate around him.
T 3659 –
'मेहनत की सुई से सफलता के मोतियों को, आप ज़िन्दगी के धागों में पिरो सकते हैं !!
"अवसर" और "सूर्योदय" दोनों एक समान होते हैं,
अगर देर से उठे तो इन्हें खो सकते हैं '

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is still in hospital at AIIMS but clearly as active as ever.
मोदी सरकार की इन विकास योजनाओं से लोगों को शुद्ध पेयजल व बेहतर सीवरेज की सुविधा मिलेगी जिससे बिहार के मूलभूत ढ़ाचे में बड़ा सुधार आएगा। मुजफ्फरपुर रिवर फ्रंट के माध्यम से पर्यटन व पर्यावरण को बल मिलेगा और जनता के लिए रोजगार के नये अवसर भी उत्पन्न होंगे। #TransformingUrbanBihar

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi feels BJP has some answers it must give.
मोदी सरकार नहीं जानती कि लॉकडाउन में कितने प्रवासी मज़दूर मरे और कितनी नौकरियाँ गयीं।
तुमने ना गिना तो क्या मौत ना हुई?
हाँ मगर दुख है सरकार पे असर ना हुई,
उनका मरना देखा ज़माने ने,
एक मोदी सरकार है जिसे ख़बर ना हुई।— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) September 15, 2020
TMC’s Mahua Moitra is even tougher on the government — any wonder why it doen’t want a Question Hour in Parliament?

No data on compensation
No data on hit to unorganised sector
No data on state & sector wise COVID job losses
No data on ₹20 lakh cr infusionStill No Need for Question Hour @BJP?
