Parliament Budget Session Updates: Rajya Sabha, Lok Sabha adjourned till 11 am on Monday

Both the Houses of Parliament -- Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha -- have been adjourned till 11 am on Monday.

On Opposition walking out during PM's speech in Rajya Sabha, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge says," There is no need to react to the PM's speech, but I would like to respond to the things he said. In 97 minutes of this speech, the PM did not say anything conclusive, but only spoke about the last 75 years. We received the published book by General MM Naravane (Retd.), but how did you not get it? How can the Defence Minister say that the book is not published? The Defence Minister kept defending this. Why were they troubled when LoP Rahul Gandhi raised the issue (2022 China issue)?... Later, they only kept abusing me. They had no facts on which they could respond to us. They also accused us of insulting the Sikhs. We respect the Sikh community. Dr Manmohan Singh, a renowed economist was appointed the Finance Minister and PM twice...You don't respect any one including Dalits...In the last 10 years, what have they done except abuse the Congress?..."

On Motion on President's address passed in Lok Sabha without PM's speech, Samajwadi Party MP Rajeev Rai says," This is called running the House (Lok Sabha) by force. The ruling side doesn't want the Opposition should have a voice. The PM should have spoken, and all leaders, along with the LoP, should also have been able to speak in the House."

Several Union Ministers are scheduled to table important reports and documents in the Lok Sabha during Friday’s sitting of Parliament. The papers will be laid by ministers from a range of key departments.

These include the Ministries of Health and Family Welfare, Law and Justice, External Affairs, Defence, and Ports, Shipping and Waterways. The documents are expected to outline updates on policy implementation and provide details on ongoing government programmes.

Tabling of such reports is a routine parliamentary exercise that allows lawmakers to review the functioning of ministries and seek accountability on administrative and policy matters.

The Lok Sabha will take up Private Members’ Business from 3.30 pm on Friday. During this time, several Private Members’ Bills are listed for introduction and consideration.

The proposed legislations include Constitution Amendment Bills and amendments to the Representation of the People Act. Other Bills on the agenda focus on welfare-related measures for farmers, fishermen, students, senior citizens, women and workers.

Private Members’ Business provides MPs an opportunity to introduce legislation outside the government’s official agenda, often highlighting social, electoral and welfare issues that require parliamentary attention.

The Lok Sabha is set to take up the general discussion on the Union Budget for 2026-27 on Friday. Proceedings in the House will begin at 11 am with Question Hour, after which government business will be taken up.

During the session, several Union Ministers from key ministries are expected to lay official papers on the table of the House. These include ministers handling portfolios such as Health, Law, External Affairs, Defence and Shipping.

The discussion on the Union Budget is expected to see participation from members across parties, as Parliament debates the government’s financial roadmap for the coming year.
