US EditionParliament Monsoon Session Day 2: Both Houses of Parliament Adjourned Till Tomorrow Amid Opposition Protests
PARLIAMENT OF INDIA, NEW DELHI, JUL 22 – Opposition MPs protested the Bihar electoral roll revision and Vice-President's sudden resignation, causing repeated adjournments and disruption during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
- On July 22, 2025, both Houses of the Indian Parliament were adjourned in New Delhi amid major disruptions caused by opposition protests over Bihar's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
- The opposition demanded discussions on Bihar SIR, the Pahalgam terror attack, and Operation Sindoor, while the government stated readiness for discussions if allowed by the Speaker.
- Lok Sabha was suspended twice during the day—initially until 12 p.m. and then again until 2 p.m.—with chair Jagdambika Pal requesting that opposition lawmakers resume their places and present their demands in written form rather than displaying placards.
- The Union Minister responsible for Parliamentary Affairs, Kiren Rijiju, stated that while the opposition seeks a discussion and the government is open to it, their disruptive behavior is preventing the House from functioning and unnecessarily wasting public funds through protests.
- The adjournments and protests halted parliamentary business, implying continued legislative delays until the Houses meet again at 11 a.m. on July 23, 2025.
