Parliament faced regular disruption during monsoon session

Parliament was regularly disrupted by opposition MPs during the monsoon session. On Wednesday, the proceedings of the Parliament were once again disrupted after opposition leaders raised strong objections to the three bills tabled by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, seeking to remove a prime minister, a chief minister, or a union minister from his/ her position if they are arrested or detained for 30 straight days in a serious criminal case.  

During the debate yesterday, some of the opposition leaders also tore away the papers of the three bills - Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025 - throwing them towards Shah.
