The Lok Sabha witnessed yet another stormy session on Thursday as opposition members (MPs) disrupted proceedings with slogans and placards, forcing multiple adjournments and ultimately halting legislative business for the day.

As TDP leader Krishna Prasad Tenneti took the Chair, opposition members immediately began shouting slogans, demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar and other pressing issues.

The uproar drowned out scheduled business, including the presentation of party committee reports by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and matters under Rule 377 raised by Janardan Mishra concerning rural development and Panchayati Raj.

Time slots of 16 hours and 9 hours have already been allotted, during the Business Advisory Committee (BAC), to both Houses for discussing Operation Sindoor, in detail.

Congress-led Opposition has been pressing for debate on multiple issues, including Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, Trump’s claims of ceasefire, and SIR drive in Bihar. A host of Opposition parties also gave multiple adjournment notices in the Parliament on these issues and demanded that immediate discussion be held, in the presence of PM Modi.

The Rajya Sabha was adjourned until July 24 following sustained disruptions by Opposition members demanding a debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.

However, proceedings were immediately interrupted by Opposition MPs chanting slogans such as “Vote Chori Band Karo”, “Vote Chori Nahi Chalegi,” and “Tanashahi Nahi Chalegi,” alleging electoral manipulation ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.
