Monsoon session Day 2: RS, LS adjourned for the day
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Proceedings in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha resumed at 11 am on Tuesday, the second day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. Both the houses were adjourned till 2pm amid opposition uproar. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ghanshyam Tiwari, who was in the Chair in Rajya Sabha, on Tuesday announced that Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation as Vice President of India has been accepted by the President of India, Draupadi Murmu.
The unprecedented resignation of the Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday came as a surprise in the political circles, with the opposition saying there is "far more to his totally unexpected resignation than meets the eye". The opposition is expected to raise the Bihar voter roll revision issue in the parliament
The session began with a stormy opening day on Monday, marked by repeated disruptions and adjournments due to opposition protests over the Pahalgam terror attack. Both Houses witnessed high drama on Monday as the Congress-led Opposition demanded an immediate discussion on Operation Sindoor, seeking to corner the government over what they termed a major security lapse in J&K.
In the Lok Sabha, the uproar began within minutes of the session’s commencement. Opposition MPs raised slogans and called for the suspension of all listed business to prioritise a debate on the Pahalgam attack. Speaker Om Birla tried to restore order but was forced to adjourn the House barely 20 minutes into the day’s proceedings.
The Rajya Sabha also witnessed noisy scenes. Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge demanded a debate on US President Donald Trump's reported claims of mediating peace between India and Pakistan. However, Kharge emphasised that the Opposition did not intend to politicise India's military actions, referring to Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory strike following the terror attack. Responding to Kharge, Leader of the House J.P. Nadda reiterated the government’s willingness for debate. “We are ready to discuss every issue, but the conventions of the House must be followed,” he said.
