Lok Sabha Passes Keralam Renaming, Co-Op Bills Amid Opposition Uproar
Opposition protests over police action and Ram temple fund allegations kept debate off the floor as 11 Monsoon Session Bills were cleared, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the Lok Sabha passed the Kerala Bill, 2026, and the National Co-operative Development Corporation Bill, 2026, without debate amid Opposition protests demanding Union Home Minister Amit Shah's presence.
- Opposition members have protested for more than three weeks, demanding Shah address alleged police excesses against student protesters in Delhi on July 20, while Congress also insists on debate regarding alleged fund theft at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
- Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge rejected the government's Monday offer to discuss 'student and youth agitations,' stating Shah must specifically address the alleged use of pellet guns against demonstrators.
- Speaker Om Birla expressed anguish over repeated disruptions, appealing for common ground so Parliament could debate bills bringing 'far-reaching changes in the country.' Of 11 bills passed this Monsoon Session, only two have been debated.
- With the Monsoon Session scheduled to end on Thursday, uncertainty remains over the fate of the women's reservation amendment bill and the Foreign Contributions Amendment Bill as the stalemate shows no signs of abating.
