Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Sessions Suspended Amid Opposition Protests and Disruptions The third week of the monsoon session of Parliament was disrupted by continuous protests and disruptions from the opposition, leading to the suspension of Lok Sabha proceedings until Monday. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced the adjournment of sessions, citing the impact of ongoing disturbances. The opposition, which has been raising issues such as police action against student protesters, theft of construction materials, and the alleged leak of NEET exam papers, demanded responses from the government. Similar disruptions also affected Rajya Sabha, with its proceedings postponed until Monday. The monsoon session was originally scheduled to conclude on August 13. The opposition’s persistent disruptions have hindered the functioning of the House, affecting legislative and other critical activities. Speaker Birla expressed frustration over the repeated interruptions, stating that such actions are not in line with democratic traditions. Central Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rijiju accused the opposition of deliberately obstructing discussions, emphasizing that the government is not to blame for the lack of debate. He highlighted that several bills have been passed, but the time allocated for discussion has been affected by the disruptions. Rijiju also warned that the opposition must apologize if it continues to disrupt proceedings outside the House. Political activity within the Parliament complex remained active. Rijiju met with Home Minister Amit Shah, while Speaker Birla also engaged in discussions with Shah. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde visited the Parliament to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.#lok_sabha #om_birla #rajya_sabha #amit_shah #kiran_rijiju
