The first day of the Monsoon Session was truncated for tributes and presidential polls have loaded the second day.

The IndianAntarctic Bill 2022 is to be discussed in the Lok Sabha , Rajya Sabha will talk over Weapons of Mass destruction and their delivery systems amendment bill, 2022.

 The opposition has listed a compendium of questions to the government on price rises, weakening rupees, the Agnipath Scheme and freedom of the press.

Before the proceedings began, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, along with the other opposition members, engineered a protest outside Parliament against the rising prices.

Speaker Om Birla, in response, has adjourned the house until 2.00 P.M. The opposition is demanding an explanation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issues raised.

The speaker of the house has directed the protesting MPs to maintain the decorum of the house. He said, “You are holding the House rule book while protesting and breaking the same rules. Read the book, You talk about farmers and inflation outside the Parliament and don’t allow a discussion on these issues in the House.”

Some MPs from the opposition have also been raising slogans against inflation, holding placards in front of the Speaker.
