New Delhi, July 28: The proceedings of the Lok Sabha were adjourned until 2 PM on Tuesday due to a significant uproar from the opposition during the question hour.
Speaker Om Birla commenced the session by acknowledging and praising the medal winners from India at the Commonwealth Games 2026 held in Glasgow.
Following this, opposition MPs began shouting slogans regarding police actions against protesters at Jantar Mantar on July 20.
Speaker Om Birla informed the members that the House would discuss the ‘Public Examinations (Unfair Practices) Amendment Bill, 2026’ at 2 PM. He urged members not to disrupt the proceedings during the question hour. However, the uproar continued, leading to the adjournment of the Lok Sabha until 2 PM.
On Monday, Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh introduced the ‘Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026.’ Unfortunately, due to the chaos and noise, no business could be conducted in the House.
When the proceedings resumed at 5 PM on Monday, the presiding officer urged members to engage in a detailed discussion on this bill of “national importance.” However, the opposition remained adamant, ignoring the appeal. Continuous shouting from the opposition created a state of disorder in the House.
Subsequently, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju made an appeal, stating that a stringent law to prevent paper leaks was introduced at the opposition’s request. He emphasized that discussing the anti-paper leak bill was “their responsibility.”
Rijiju noted that several members from both the opposition and the ruling party had come prepared for an extensive discussion on the bill. He earnestly urged Congress MPs not to create chaos in the House and to participate in constructive debates for the future of the youth.
Presiding over the session, Krishna Prasad Teneti appealed to opposition members to remove their placards and engage in meaningful discussions on the bill, but the uproar persisted.
In an attempt to restore order, Teneti reminded members that this bill would significantly impact students’ lives and that the House had been awaiting this debate for a long time. However, seeing no reduction in the noise, he adjourned the proceedings.
