Amid continued uproar and protests by Opposition MPs on the third day of the monsoon session, the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till July 24. Both Houses will reconvene at 11 am on Thursday.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha witnessed repeated disruptions on Wednesday, with Opposition members protesting over multiple issues, including the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls being undertaken by the Election Commission in Bihar ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, Operation Sindoor, the Pahalgam attack and US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of brokering peace between India and Pakistan.
Despite repeated appeals by Acting Speaker Krishna Prasad Tenneti, the Lok Sabha was adjourned without taking up ‘The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill’.
Today is an important matter. There will be discussions on the Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill. There is an opportunity for a discussion on Scheduled Tribes. It is not good if you don’t give this a chance. I request you to kindly sit back. Let there be a discussion. We have lost precious time in two days. Kindly allow the Bill to be discussed… You cannot bring the placards like this. In spite of my repeated requests, you don’t want discussions on the Bill. It is very unfortunate that you don’t want a discussion on STs of Goa. The House has been adjourned till 11 am on July 24,” the Acting Speaker said.
Earlier in the day, the Lok Sabha was first adjourned till noon, just minutes after it had convened. The Lower House was adjourned again till 2 pm shortly after it reconvened amid continued Opposition protests. During this time, Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya introduced the ‘National Sports Governance Bill, 2025’ in Lok Sabha.
Similarly, the Rajya Sabha was first adjourned till noon and then again till 2 pm after reconvening. In both Houses, Opposition MPs raised slogans and held placards, demanding a discussion on the revision of the electoral roll in Bihar.
Earlier, Lok Sabha Speaker had also adjourned the House as Opposition members continued their protests demanding a discussion on the SIR exercise being carried out by the Election Commission in Bihar.
Objecting to the use of placards in the well of the House, the Speaker said, “The nation is watching your behaviour and conduct. I will have to take decisive action against members bringing banners. This House is for discussion and dialogue, not for sloganeering. Maintain the decorum of the House,” Birla said before adjourning the Lower House.
Opposition leaders have demanded that the Prime Minister address both Houses and the nation on key issues, including the Pahalgam terror attack and the SIR exercise being carried out by the Election Commission in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections.
They have also called on Prime Minister Modi to respond to US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of initiating a “ceasefire” between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor.
