Parliament Proceedings Disrupted by Opposition Protests
Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned until 2 pm on multiple occasions due to protests by opposition Members of Parliament. The protests reportedly centered on issues including the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act (FCRA) and student demonstrations. Speaker Om Birla appealed for common ground between the government and opposition to allow parliamentary functioning. The government indicated readiness to discuss the "chadhava chori" (donation theft) issue and offered talks on student protests with a caveat. An unusual confrontation between government and opposition MPs occurred at the Parliament gate.
