The Lok Sabha session on Friday came to an end as the Speaker, Om Birla, adjourned the House sine die amidst uproar from both the opposition and the treasury benches. The cause of the commotion was the alleged disrespect towards B R Ambedkar and the Speaker's directive to refrain from holding demonstrations at any of the Parliament gates.
As the Lok Sabha gathered for the day's proceedings, the Speaker requested the Law Minister, Arjun Ram Meghwal, to introduce a resolution for the formation of a joint committee to review the 'one nation, one election' bills. The atmosphere inside the House was charged with the echoes of 'Jai Bhim' slogans as the Speaker read out his instruction to abstain from protests near the gates of Parliament.
Despite the Speaker's efforts, the opposition continued their protests, leading to the adjournment of the House. Even before the session began, the Congress members were already chanting 'Jai Bheem, Jai Jai Bheem' slogans. The entry of Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the Lok Sabha chamber did little to calm the situation.
Amidst the chaos, the Law Minister presented the resolution, but the Congress members, led by Manickam Tagore, stormed the Well of the House, raising slogans. The opposition members continued their protests as the customary 'Vande Mataram' was played at the end of the Parliament session. While most of the opposition parties, including DMK and NCP, joined in the protest from their seats, the TMC was the only party that did not participate. The Congress leader, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, was also present in the House during this time.
