The 20th day of the Parliament Winter Session witnessed intense drama as both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned until 2 PM following relentless protests over remarks related to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The row has escalated into a major flashpoint, with MPs from both the Opposition and the BJP exchanging heated accusations on the floor of the House.
Opposition leaders have demanded an unconditional apology, asserting that the remarks undermine the legacy of Dr. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution. On the other hand, BJP MPs have accused the Opposition of exploiting the issue for political mileage, leading to a fiery stalemate.
The session, which has already been marred by disruptions over other contentious matters, saw a complete halt to legislative business this morning. Slogans echoed across the chambers as leaders stood their ground, refusing to relent.
Observers note that this standoff underscores the deepening divide in Parliament, with critical legislative discussions taking a backseat. The government is expected to hold talks with stakeholders to restore order, but the path to resolution remains uncertain.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Parliament resumes later today, amid hopes for meaningful dialogue and resolution.
