Parliament Budget Session 2026 Live Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday, will respond to the motion of thanks on President Murmu's address in the Lok Sabha. Modi will address the lower House of the Parliament at 5 pm, even as a stand-off continues between the Treasury and Opposition benches for the third day.

The unrest came after sustained sloganeering by Opposition members during Question Hour. The Lok Sabha saw repeated adjournments as Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was disallowed from quoting an article that cited the unpublished "memoir" of former Army chief MM Naravane on the 2020 India-China conflict.

On Tuesday, seven Congress MPs and one CPI(M) member were suspended for the remainder of the Budget session, which concludes on 2 April. The suspensions followed scenes of disorder, including attempts to climb the Secretary-General’s table, tearing of papers, and hurling them towards the Chair.

Meanwhile, both Houses of Parliament will continue deliberations on the “motion of thanks to the President's address.

In the Lok Sabha, the motion was moved by Sarbananda Sonowal and seconded by Tejasvi Surya, with 18 hours allocated for the debate.

In the Rajya Sabha, BJP MP Sadananad Master moved the motion of thanks.
