Proceedings in the Lok Sabha were disrupted on Monday during the discussion on the motion of thanks on the President’s Address, leading to an adjournment till 3 pm. The debate saw sharp exchanges between the government and the Opposition, with objections raised over remarks made during the discussion and repeated references to parliamentary rules by the Chair.

The Budget Session debate, which began with the government outlining its vision and priorities, has since been marked by disagreements over procedure, content, and the scope of issues being raised in the House.
