Parliament monsoon session LIVE: Centre to push Vande Mataram bill on Day 2

India's Parliament convened for its monsoon session, but the first day was marked by significant disruptions. Opposition members in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha demanded immediate discussions on pressing issues, including alleged irregularities in the NEET medical entrance exam and a theft case involving donations for the Ram Mandir.

The opposition's demands extended to calling for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, holding him accountable for the examination controversies. These disruptions led to repeated adjournments, halting legislative business.

Despite the tumultuous start, the government has indicated its intention to push forward with legislative agenda. On the second day of the session, the Centre is expected to introduce the Vande Mataram bill, signaling its legislative priorities amidst the ongoing political and social concerns raised by the opposition.
