Congress Minister Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla a short while ago.

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Monday demanded a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the issue of voter lists on which several political parties have raised certain questions. Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi said the entire opposition has been demanding a discussion on voter lists.

"We accept your remarks that the government does not make voter lists. But we demand a discussion on the issue," the Congress leader said.

"The voter lists are being questioned across the country. Questions have been raised by the opposition in one voice in every state, including Maharashtra," he said.

Rajya Sabha MP Rekha Sharma accused the opposition of always obstructing the House and stated that they will do similar things today also.

"The opposition always obstructs the House and important issues are left behind...Today also they will do something similar and we are ready for that too...only those issues will come up in Parliament which are for the public...whatever is in our agenda will happen..." Ms Sharma told ANI.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Dinesh Sharma also hit out at the opposition and said that the opposition is always ready for uproar and to obstruct the House.

He further said, "Today's need of democracy is that the opposition should have a healthy discussion and question the ruling party and the ruling party should satisfy the opposition by informing them about its good work but the opposition is not ready. The opposition is ready for uproar and to obstruct the House..."

Led by the Congress, the opposition parties staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha after their notices for discussions on issues ranging from 'duplicate' voter ID cards to US funding to voter turnout were rejected, even as Union minister J P Nadda insisted that the government is ready to discuss any issue provided they are under the rules.

The opposition MPs raised slogans after the deputy chairman of the House, Harivansh, said a dozen notices under Rule 267, which calls for setting aside the business of the day to take up discussions on urgent matters, have been rejected.

Citing the rejection, Harivansh did not allow Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge to make his submission.

The opposition MPs then protested for a while before staging a walkout.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan strongly criticised the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party regarding the ongoing controversy over the three-language policy in the New Education Policy.During his address in Lok Sabha, Mr Pradhan accused the DMK of being "dishonest" and playing "politics" at the cost of Tamil Nadu students' future.

"They (DMK) are dishonest. They are not committed to the students of Tamil Nadu. They are ruining the future of Tamil Nadu students. Their only job is to raise language barriers. They are doing politics. They are doing mischief. They are undemocratic and uncivilised," Mr Pradhan said.

In the Rajya Sabha the DMK staged a walkout after raising the issue of the three language policy and the issues of delimitation.

Within the first few minutes of the Parliament reconvening, chaos ensued as the Opposition raised an uproar over the ongoing language row.

While the DMK echoed Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's view of Hindi imposition challenging the cultural ethos of a non-Hindi-speaking state, the education minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the party is misleading the youth. He alleged "political opportunism" by the Stalin-led party.

Congress MP Manickam Tagore has given a motion for the adjournment of the business of the House in the Lok Sabha, calling for a discussion on the "internal security crisis in Manipur and Jammu," specifically focusing on the escalating violence and government accountability.

Congress MP K Suresh announced that Congress will raise significant issues in during the second part of the ongoing budget session, particularly focusing on the delimitation process and its effects on southern states, including Tamil Nadu.

Suresh said, "Today in Parliament, during the second part of the budget session...we are going to raise so many important issues in Parliament. Especially the delimitation issue, which has affected southern states. Tamil Nadu already reacted, and other states have also expressed their views. The Government of India is going to start delimitation without any discussion with stakeholders..."

Earlier, DMK MP Tiruchi Siva raised a Suspension of Business Notice in the Rajya Sabha to discuss the critical concerns surrounding the upcoming delimitation exercise, particularly its impact on India's federal structure and its effects on the southern states' fair representation.

Before the House reconvenes, the Congress is expected to hold a meet to formulate its strategy for the second half of the budget session that will continue till April 4. The INDIA parties are expected to coordinate with the Congress.

The government is expected to get the Finance Bills passed that would complete the budgetary process. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will also table the budget for Manipur, which has been under President's Rule since last month.

The Opposition is also expected to resist the Waqf Amendment bill, which has been cleared by the cabinet and is scheduled to be tabled in this session. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has said the government is keen on early passage of the Bill. 

US President Donald Trump's tariff offensive and the deportation of illegal Indian immigrants in chains is also expected to be among the issues that would be raised by the Opposition.
