Parliament Sees Turmoil as Opposition Walks Out Over Book Reference

Disruption in Both Houses of Parliament

On Thursday, significant chaos erupted in both houses of Parliament. In the Rajya Sabha, opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge attempted to reference a book by former Army Chief General M.M. Naravane, but was denied permission to do so. In protest, the Congress party along with other opposition groups staged a walkout from the session. Kharge accused the government of obstructing the proper functioning of democracy.

Lok Sabha Passes Motion Amidst Protests

Meanwhile, in the Lok Sabha, amidst ongoing uproar, a motion of thanks for the President's address was passed by voice vote without a response from the Prime Minister. Opposition members were vocally protesting, leading to repeated suspensions of the house proceedings. The Parliament has been facing a stalemate over issues such as the China border dispute and the suspension of MPs for several days.
