The Congress and other parties have attacked Birla for not allowing Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi to quote from or speak about former Indian Army Chief General M M Naravane’s unpublished memoir. (PTI)Parliament Budget Session 2026 Highlights: Hours after Opposition MPs submitted a notice for moving a resolution to remove Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla from office, sources close to Birla said he will not sit in the Speaker’s chair until the motion is resolved. Sources said Birla took the decision upholding the highest standards of morality. The Opposition MPs submitted the notice against Om Birla for disallowing Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders from speaking in the House on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address, as well as for the suspension of eight MPs.
BJP hits back: The BJP slammed the opposition for moving the no-confidence motion, saying the time has come for India to “impeach” Rahul Gandhi and the Congress from politics. “Those who have been impeached of their consciousness are the ones who want to impeach all the constitutional posts of India,” BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra was quoted as saying by PTI. The BJP also alleged that the Congress and its allies have been attacking constitutional institutions and posts at the behest of US-based billionaire George Soros since the BJP-NDA returned to power for a third consecutive term under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.

What happened? The Lok Sabha has been witnessing disruptions since February 2, after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was disallowed by the chair from quoting from an article based on excerpts of former Army chief M M Naravane’s “unpublished memoir”, which has references to the India-China conflict of 2020. On February 4, Prime Minister Modi could not reply to the debate on the Motion of Thanks due to opposition protests. Birla said he received concrete information that many Congress MPs could carry out an “unexpected act” by reaching the spot where PM Modi sits and, therefore, he asked him not to come to the House to deliver his address.

Parliament Budget Session 2026 Live Updates: Growing economic inequality may lead to social upheaval, says TMC MP
Opposition parties on Tuesday accused the government of failing to address issues like unemployment and inflation in the Union Budget, with Trinamool Congress' Sukhendu Sekhar Roy stressing that growing inequality may lead to a "social upheaval", similar to what was witnessed in neighbouring countries.
Participating in the debate on the Budget in the Rajya Sabha, MPs raised concerns over the India-US trade deal and pending dues for states.
"We have never witnessed such skyrocketing inequality between rich, super rich, upper middle class, middle class and the poor... If situation is not brought under control, I am afraid the day is not too far when the country would be doused into social upheaval, the way some of our neighbouring countries have recently seen," Roy said.

Parliament Budget Session 2026 Live Updates: Congress MP asks govt to come out with annual report on social justice
Rajya Sabha Congress MP Mukul Balkrishna Wasnik on Tuesday asked the government to come out with annual report on social justice and table it in Parliament on the lines of economic survey. The government tables economic survey in Parliament prior to the Union Budget.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the House, Wasnik said India should institutionalise an annual report on the state of social justice and table it in Parliament just like the economic survey.
"This report should serve as a data-driven strategic guide to uphold the constitutional values of equality and inclusivity, and should be available for discussion in and outside Parliament," he said.
The Congress MP said the report on social justice must systematically evaluate existing legal and policy frameworks to ensure they meet constitutional mandates. It should focus on security to examine the implementation of various schemes and laws that exist for the protection of the life and dignity of persons from the disadvantaged sections.
"The growing number of atrocities against SCs, STs, women, and the rise in cases of lynching should be at the very core of this report. How long should we be witnessing people getting into the manholes and cleaning the gutters in inhuman conditions and remain spectators of some of them dying in the process? We need to address this as a national priority," he said.
It should also analyse budgetary allocations and ground level impact of affirmative action, and schemes for empowerment of disadvantaged sections.
Wasnik said the report should also focus on socioeconomic gaps, examining disparities in education, employment, median income, and poverty levels across different social segments.
