In a July 19 letter, O'Brien expressed deep-seated apprehension regarding the government's legislative methodology. He pointed to the swift passage of the J&K Reorganisation Bill 2019 as evidence of a recurring pattern where critical policies bypass standard notice periods. The MP cautioned that the current administration risks repeating the fallout associated with the controversial Farm Bills, which he cited as a prime example of 'cowboy legislation' that lacked sufficient cross-party consensus.
O'Brien reserved his sharpest criticism for the proposed FCRA amendment, labeling the bill as draconian. He warned that the legislation threatens to dismantle institutions providing vital support to marginalized populations. By calling for an open dialogue, the TMC leader seeks to force a shift away from what he described as 'cloak and dagger' tactics, insisting that constitutional safeguards must be prioritized over expedited lawmaking.
