A New India
Chapter 265 - 265: Chaos in the Parliament and Outside - I

The Parliament was full with tension even before the session began.

Rohan had spent the last three days mentally preparing for this moment.

He knew this wouldn't be an ordinary session state reorganization was a volatile issue, one that touched deep-seated linguistic, cultural, and regional identities.

Outside the Parliament, the streets of Delhi were alive with rumors and unease, with security forces on high alert as instructed by Rohan himself.

At precisely 11 a.m. on July 15, 1955, Rohan entered the Parliament chamber, walking with an air of calm resolve.

His cabinet members flanked him, while the opposition members were already seated, their expressions a mix of curiosity and defiance.

The Speaker, visibly tense, called the session to order.

Rohan stood up, papers in hand, and approached the central podium.

The room fell momentarily silent, a calm before the storm.

Clearing his throat, he began, "Today, I present before this Parliament a bill that has taken three years of tireless effort, deliberation, and consultation. The State Reorganization Bill is not just an administrative necessity but a cornerstone for building a stronger, unified India."

He paused and glanced around the room, sensing the growing restlessness in the air.

"As per the recommendations of the State Reorganization Commission, we propose the creation of 42 states and Union Territories. These include—"

As soon as he began listing the names of the states, murmurs erupted from various corners of the room.

It began with whispers but quickly escalated to audible grumbles, then outright yelling.

"Yeh kya mazaak hai?" (What kind of joke is this?) a senior opposition leader from Punjab roared, slamming his fist on the table. "Hamaara Punjab do tukde karne ki himmat kaise hui?" (How dare you divide our Punjab into two?)

Another voice from the Uttar Pradesh bench shouted, "Braj Pradesh aur Purvanchal? Uttar Pradesh ka naam mitane ka sapna dekha hai kya tumne?" (Braj Pradesh and Purvanchal? Have you dreamt of erasing Uttar Pradesh's name?)

Rohan, unfazed, continued listing the states: "Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana…"

But the opposition grew louder, drowning his voice.

Members began standing, pointing fingers, and yelling accusations.

"Yeh bill Hindustan ko todne ka kaam karega!" (This bill will break India!) a fiery MP from Rajasthan shouted.

"Aap sirf ek vyakti hain, desh nahi! Yeh faisla logon ka hona chahiye, na ki ek vyakti ke dimaag ka!" (You are just one man, not the nation! This decision should come from the people, not one man's mind!) screamed another, standing up and banging his table.

The Speaker desperately tried to restore order. "Members, please maintain decorum. Let the Prime Minister finish."

But the shouting continued. Another opposition MP yelled, "Nepal aur Gilgit ko shaamil kar ke aap kya dikhana chahte hain? Yeh desh ke liye nahi, aapke ego ke liye hai!" (What are you trying to prove by including Nepal and Gilgit? This isn't for the country, it's for your ego!)

At this point, the din had reached a crescendo.

Rohan stood stoically, gripping the podium tightly, his knuckles white.

He finally turned to the Speaker, who looked helpless, and said, "Suspend the session if this is how they wish to behave."

The Speaker slammed his gavel. "The session is suspended for 10 minutes!"

The moment the suspension was announced, the chamber descended into complete chaos.

Members from the ruling and opposition benches began shouting at each other, many walking up to the aisle and pointing fingers.

"Aap log desh ko barbaad kar dena chahte hain!" (You people want to destroy the country!) yelled a ruling party MP.

"Tumhari sarkar bas zabardasti karna jaanti hai! Logon ki awaaz sunte ho?" (Your government only knows how to impose decisions! Do you listen to the people?) retorted an opposition member.

Rohan left the chamber for the Speaker's office, his jaw clenched. Neeraj hurried behind him. "Sir, the opposition seems hell-bent on creating a spectacle. They're claiming you're tearing the country apart."

Rohan stopped abruptly, turning to face Neeraj. His voice was low but sharp. "Woh chahe kuch bhi bolen, desh ka hissa banana inka sapna tha, toh ab kaam karne se kyon ghabra rahe hain?" (They can say whatever they want. Including these regions was their dream, so why are they scared of doing the work now?)

Neeraj nodded, unsure what to say.

After 10 minutes, the session resumed.

Rohan walked back into the chamber, now fully prepared to face the backlash.

The Speaker called for order again, and Rohan resumed his position.

"As I was saying," Rohan began, his voice cutting through the residual murmurs, "the State Reorganization Bill proposes the creation of 40 states and Union Territories. This reorganization is based on linguistic, cultural, and administrative considerations and has been designed to ensure unity and efficiency."

But the moment he finished listing the states, several opposition MPs stood up and staged a walkout.

The sound of shoes clacking against the marble floors echoed as they left, their exit a statement of defiance.

For the first time since traveling to this world, Rohan felt the weight of resistance.

His usual composure gave way to a flicker of frustration, but he quickly masked it.

One opposition MP who remained seated stood up and pointed at Rohan. "Yeh bill desh mein phir se batwara laayega. Aap logon ko shaanti dene ke bajay unke zakhm hara kar rahe ho!" (This bill will bring another partition to the country. Instead of giving people peace, you are reopening their wounds!)

Rohan finally responded, his voice firm but laced with suppressed anger. "Batwara woh tha jab British chale gaye aur hum apne logon ko chhod gaye the. Yeh toh sirf ek kadam hai Bharat ko mazboot banane ka!" (Partition happened when the British left, and we abandoned our people. This is a step to make India stronger!)

Another MP yelled, "Mazboot? Ya aapke mann ka Hindustan?" (Stronger? Or just your idea of India?)

Rohan, now visibly agitated, shot back, "Hindustan sabka hai, lekin ek mazboot Hindustan ke liye kadve faisle lene padte hain. Agar yeh aapko pasand nahi, toh aap sirf rajneeti kar rahe hain, desh se pyar nahi!" (India belongs to everyone, but a strong India requires tough decisions. If you don't like it, you're just playing politics, not loving the country!)

The opposition benches erupted again, but this time, Rohan's cabinet members clapped in support.

The Speaker intervened once more, banging his gavel. "Order! Order!"

Even with Speaker ordering for session to continue in peace the member of parliament were not ready some even were ready to smash the chair.

Fortunately thier counterpart stopped them from doing so.

It was utter chaos.

Everyone was yelling, some even went so far as by yelling abusive words in their regional language not giving a shit about the sanctity of this parliament.
