Lok Sabha Adjourned Amid Opposition Protests; PM Modi's Speech Deferred to Rajya Sabha

The Lok Sabha proceedings were repeatedly disrupted during the Budget Session over Opposition demands to allow Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to quote from former Army Chief General MM Naravane's unpublished memoir concerning the 2020 India-China border standoff. Eight Opposition MPs were suspended for unruly behaviour amid protests. Women Opposition MPs staged a protest near Prime Minister Narendra Modi's seat, leading to the adjournment of the House minutes before his scheduled speech. The Motion of Thanks to the President's Address was passed without the Prime Minister's reply, which is now expected in the Rajya Sabha amid continued political tensions and exchanges between government and Opposition leaders.
