Parliament honours Shubhanshu Shukla's space feat amid Opposition's uproar
Parliament on Monday paid glowing tribute to Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, the Indian Air Force pilot and astronaut who became a national icon following his recent journey aboard the Ax-4 mission to the International Space special discussion, held just a day after Shukla's celebrated homecoming to New Delhi, was marked by accolades and a palpable mood of national pride, despite a boycott by opposition Minister of State for Science & Technology, Jitendra Singh, led the commemoration by lauding Shukla's achievements and their significance for India's aspirations in space. 'It is sad to see that the opposition's anger can be against the government, but today, their absence unfortunately registers as disregard for the valour of an Indian astronaut, a Gaganyaatri, and a dedicated IAF pilot. Ignoring our scientists, engineers, and astronauts is a slight to those who made history for India in 2025,' Singh remarked. Singh passionately urged opposition leaders to participate in such moments of national celebration, emphasising, 'Today, India is celebrating, and every child dreams of being Shubhanshu Shukla. The world is watching India—most recently during Operation Sindoor, where our expertise in space and technology proved vital.'Despite the continuous uproar from opposition members, the discussion saw an outpouring of admiration from various parliamentarians, who highlighted the broader impact of Shukla's called it a new chapter in Indian space exploration, one that not only propelled homegrown science to new orbits but also inspired countless young Indians to chase careers in science, technology, engineering, and Ax-4 mission, conducted in collaboration with international partners, provided invaluable experience and advanced India's ambitions for its own human spaceflight program, were unanimous in affirming that heroes like Shukla embody the spirit of modern India, determined to reach for the stars and grateful for the teamwork of those who make such feats the session closed, it was clear that even in moments of political division, pride in India's achievements in space continues to unite and inspire the MPs also hailed Isro's achievements of landing a spacecraft on the Moon's southernmopst point as it prepares for of the discussion, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor confirmed the Opposition would not participate in the special proceedings.

Lok Sabha adjourned till 2 pm amid noisy protests by Oppn on SIR in Bihar
Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 PM on Monday following vociferous protests by opposition parties demanding a discussion on the voter roll revision in Bihar and other issues. Opposition members trooped in the Well raising slogans 'Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod' (vote thief, vacate the chair) as soon as the House re-convened at noon. BJP member Sandhya Ray, who was in the chair, allowed laying of parliamentary papers and introduction of the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill and the Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill. A resolution to refer the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill to a select committee was also adopted by the Lok Sabha amid the din. As the protests continued, the chair adjourned the proceedings till 2 PM. Earlier, when the House met at 11 am, opposition MPs, including those from the Congress, were on their feet, raising slogans and showing placards with their demand for discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar. Initially, Speaker Om Birla tried to continue the business of the House -- Question Hour -- by allowing members to ask six questions related to several union ministries and departments amidst the din. After about 15 minutes of proceedings, the Speaker asked the protesting members to go back to their seats and warned that if they try to damage government properties, he would be forced to take strong action against them. Birla also said that the kind of force the opposition members were using in sloganeering, it would have been good had they used similar kind of force in raising people's welfare issues. As the opposition MPs ignored his pleas, the Speaker adjourned the House till 12 noon. The opposition has been demanding a discussion on the SIR exercise initiated by the Election Commission in Bihar ahead of the Assembly elections there. Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both House, Parliament has seen little business ever since the Monsoon session began on July 21 due to repeated adjournments initially due to opposition demand for discussion on Operation Sindoor and then demanding a discussion on SIR.
