Parliament Monsoon Session Highlights: Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha Proceedings Adjourned For The Day Amid Oppn Protest Over Bihar SIR

Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE Updates: Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned on Thursday for the fourth consecutive day amid persistent protests by the Opposition demanding withdrawal of the ongoing voter roll revision in Bihar. In the morning too, Speaker Om Birla had to adjourn the proceedings when Opposition members raised slogans, entered the Well of the House, and displayed placards. When the House met again at 2 pm, Krishna Prasad Tenneti, who was chairing the House, urged members to participate in a bill which seeks to provide seats for Scheduled Tribes in the Goa Legislative Assembly. Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha proceedings have also been adjourned for the day, and the house will convene on July 25 at 11 am.
Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal questioned the Opposition for not allowing discussion on the bill, which will benefit the Scheduled Tribe population of the state. As protests continued unabated, the proceedings were adjourned for the day. Earlier in the day, Speaker Om Birla asked the protesting members to return to their seats and assured them that, as per the rules, they would be given opportunities to raise their issues. He mentioned the name of senior Congress leader K C Venugopal and said it was not the culture of his party to indulge in sloganeering in the House.
