Parliament Budget Session: Chaos In Rajya Sabha Over Minority Reservation Row | Read

The Parliament resumed on Monday with discussions expected on various bills in both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. However, chaos erupted within a few minutes of the proceedings, resulting in both Houses being adjourned.

In Rajya Sabha, loud protests began, demanding an explanation from the Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge regarding the Congress' position on the reservation for Muslims. BJP MP Kiren Rijiju said a “senior Congress leader holding a constitutional post has made a statement that they (Congress) are going to change the Constitution of India to provide reservation to the Muslim community. We can not take this statement lightly.”
