Rajya Sabha adjourned for the day amid Opposition protests
Jul-31-2026

The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day amid uproar by Opposition members over several issues, including paper leaks and alleged irregularities in the Ayodhya Ram Temple land acquisition. 

When proceedings of the house began at 11 a.m, papers were laid on the table of the House and Opposition members demanded that Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge be allowed to speak. Chairman C P Radhakrishnan slammed the Opposition saying that they were still in ‘Emergency mode’. Chairman later permitted Kharge to speak, but ruled that no notices under Rule 267 will be admitted after the Leader of Opposition sought to raise some issues under the provision.

Opposition members then raised slogans against the government over paper leaks issue, and on the alleged theft of donations from the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Opposition also demanded that the Home Minister address the House regarding alleged police actions against protesting students. The Chairman asked what the Home Minister has to do with the Zero Hour. Amid the protests, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan accused them of indulging in ‘sadak-chhap (cheap)’ politics and ‘playing with the dignity of the House’.

As the uproar continued, the Chairman adjourned the House for the day. The proceedings of the Upper House will now resume on Monday at 11 am. Meanwhile, similar scenes were witnessed in the Lok Sabha, where proceedings were also adjourned for the day following protests by Opposition members over the alleged police action against students during the July 20 demonstration.
