New Delhi. Amid continuous disruptions in Parliament, the scheduled address of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha was deferred. The Prime Minister was to respond to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address, but persistent protests and sloganeering by opposition members prevented the House from functioning smoothly.
As soon as the proceedings began, opposition MPs raised slogans over various issues and entered the well of the House, leading to repeated adjournments. Despite appeals from the Chair to maintain order and allow the House to function, the disruptions continued. Eventually, the proceedings of the Lok Sabha were adjourned for the day, resulting in the postponement of the Prime Minister’s address.
According to parliamentary sources, the atmosphere in the House was not conducive for a meaningful discussion due to the ongoing protests. The Speaker urged members to uphold parliamentary decorum, but the deadlock between the opposition and the treasury benches persisted.
The opposition maintained that it was seeking discussion on key issues of public importance, while the ruling side accused opposition parties of deliberately stalling parliamentary business. The confrontation between both sides led to a complete standstill of legislative work for the day.
It is now expected that the Prime Minister’s address may be rescheduled during the next sitting or on another suitable day. The incident has once again highlighted concerns over frequent disruptions in Parliament and their impact on the functioning of democratic institutions.
