The Lok Sabha saw a rare smooth Question Hour on Tuesday, the first since the Monsoon session began on July 21, despite ongoing tensions over demands for debates on Bihar’s electoral roll revision and Operation Sindoor. While a discussion on Operation Sindoor started Monday, Opposition MPs disrupted proceedings, seeking assurances for a debate on Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Speaker Om Birla emphasized the importance of Question Hour for addressing key ministerial issues and government accountability, enabling Tuesday’s uninterrupted session.

In contrast, Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned until 2 PM due to Opposition uproar after Deputy Chairman Harivansh rejected 24 adjournment notices under Rule 267. These notices demanded discussions on issues like SIR, alleged discrimination against Bengali migrant workers, and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation. Opposition members protested, chanting “Vote Ki Chori Band Karo” (stop stealing votes), ignoring pleas to allow Zero Hour discussions. The disruptions highlight ongoing political friction over electoral concerns.
