Parliament Budget Session Disrupted; PM Modi's Lok Sabha Reply Postponed Amid Opposition Protests
During the ongoing Budget Session, Parliament has been engaged in the Motion of Thanks debate on President Droupadi Murmu's address. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to reply in the Lok Sabha on February 4, but proceedings were repeatedly disrupted by opposition protests, including references to former Army Chief General MM Naravane's unpublished memoir on the 2020 India-China border standoff. Eight opposition MPs were suspended for unruly behavior, leading to adjournments and postponement of the Prime Minister's speech to February 5. Both Houses continue deliberations amid heightened tensions.
