The monsoon session of Parliament remains turbulent, marked by significant legislative actions and vocal opposition protests.
- Legislative Approvals Without Debate: The Lok Sabha successfully passed two major bills—the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill and the Bankers’ Books Evidence Bill—via voice vote without any discussion amidst ongoing opposition protests.
- Opposition Protests and Deadlock: Opposition MPs held a protest march demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding alleged police excesses against students at Jantar Mantar, as well as a discussion on the alleged misappropriation of Ram Temple donations.
- Cross-Party Meetings: In an attempt to break the parliamentary deadlock, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju held a 50-minute meeting with Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi.
- UP Assembly Adjourned Early: The Uttar Pradesh Assembly was adjourned sine die a day ahead of schedule following massive protests by Samajwadi Party (SP) legislators over an alleged Rs 18-crore Ram Temple donation theft. During the standoff, a Rs 59,019.54-crore supplementary budget was passed without debate, and SP MLA Sachin Yadav was suspended by Speaker Satish Mahana.
