The Lok Sabha faced adjournment due to fierce protests by opposition members over the new India-US trade agreement. The session was marked by heated debates, with Congress leaders demanding transparency from the government regarding the trade deal's terms and implications for the nation.
Parliament Budget Session Live: Lok Sabha was adjourned on Tuesday amid protests by opposition members over the recently announced India-US trade deal.
Both houses of Parliament reconvened to continue the discussion on the motion of 'Thanks to the President's address' today, a day after a major political row erupted as Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi sought to read in the Lok Sabha from an unpublished ‘memoir’ of former Army chief M M Naravane on the 2020 India-China conflict.
Soon after obituary references, the Opposition members began sloganeering over the trade deal.
The Leader of Opposition (LoP), speaking during the Budget Session of Parliament, attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, evoking a backlash from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders who accused him of misleading the House and belittling the armed forces.
On Tuesday, Congress MP KC Venugopal gave an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha to discuss the India-US Trade Agreement.
The country has the right to know the exact terms and conditions of the proposed trade deal.
"Despite the significant economic, agricultural, and strategic implications of these reported commitments, the Government has neither made an official statement nor taken Parliament into confidence. The country has the right to know the exact terms and conditions of the proposed trade deal, and it is imperative that the Government place all details before Parliament and the nation. Given the urgency and public importance of the matter, this issue warrants immediate discussion through an Adjournment Motion," he said.
