File | Photo Credit: The Hindu Trinamool Congress leader in Rajya Sabha Derek O’Brien on Saturday (April 12, 2026) launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah, accusing them of “mocking Parliament” and indulging in political theatrics ahead of the upcoming elections. His remarks come against the backdrop of a special three-day sitting of Parliament scheduled from April 16 to 18, during which the government is expected to take up legislation related to the implementation of women’s reservation in legislatures, and also delimitation to increase the number of seats in Lok Sabha to enforce the quota.
