1 2 L ucknow: Speaker Satish Mahana adjourned the proceedings of the Assembly till Tuesday morning following protest over mistreatment of leader of opposition Mata Prasad Pandey. The first day of the Monsoon Session got inundated in din that prevailed since the beginning, leading to Speaker Satish Mahana rushing for the day's business before adjourning the House until Tuesday morning. As the House session began on Monday, SP member Sangram Yadav stood up and objected to the alleged mistreatment meted out to Pandey when he had gone to meet the traders in Gorakhpur. He urged the Speaker to intervene in the matter. Pandey then stood up and said he was shown black flags and was stopped from proceeding ahead in the CM's constituency. He alleged that it was the handiwork of "BJP workers". After the CM's reply, the SP members jumped into the well of the House and began shouting anti-govt slogans. Pandey then demanded an inquiry into the incident and said that if he is found guilty action should be taken against him and if others are found guilty action should be taken against the alleged protesters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Amid ongoing din, parliamentary affairs minister Suresh Khanna said that it was the political agenda of the SP and there was no need for an inquiry.

RS returns Manipur budget & GST bills
New Delhi: After adjournment during the first half of Monday, the Rajya Sabha took up the business amid protest by Opposition members. The House returned the Manipur Appropriation Bill, 2025, and The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill to the Lok Sabha with a voice vote. The Manipur Appropriation Bill authorises payment and appropriation of certain sums out of the consolidated fund of the state of Manipur for services for 2025-26. The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, which seeks to implement the decisions approved by the GST Council, would replace the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025. As the House resumed at 2 pm, leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge raised the issue of Opposition MPs being taken into custody by the Delhi Police while they were on their way to protest at the ECI office. The moment Kharge raised the point, Sasmit Patra who was in the chair, didn't allow him to speak further as his concerns were not about the bills taken up for discussion. The leader of the house JP Nadda strongly objected to the remarks made by Kharge and requested the chair to take it off the record. While the government initiated a discussion on Manipur bills, the Opposition walked out in protest. Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman also criticised the Opposition for voting against the bills related to Manipur. The reference of Opposition members voting against the bill was made after a few Opposition MPs who were present in the House even after the boycott said "no" when the bill was passed. Opposition members, however, maintained that they boycotted the House in protest.
