New Delhi: The functioning of both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha was severely affected today due to loud protests and slogan-shouting by the opposition parties, leading to their adjournment for the day.

The Lok Sabha witnessed continuous disruptions throughout the day.

• Presiding Officer Jagdambika Pal made repeated appeals for calm, while MoS for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal assured that the government was ready for a debate under rules.
• The Chair informed that 16 hours were allotted for the debate on Operation Sindoor as per the Business Advisory Committee’s decision.
• However, due to continued pandemonium, the House was adjourned till 2 PM.

In the afternoon session:

• The same protests resumed, prompting Presiding Officer to reiterate calls for peace and assure a scheduled discussion.
• Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju condemned the disruption, saying the opposition was not interested in discussion despite the government’s readiness.
• As the uproar persisted, the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day.

Despite assurances from the government to hold a 16-hour debate on Operation Sindoor, the opposition persisted with its demand for immediate deliberations, leading to a complete adjournment of both Houses.
