Protests grip parliament sessions

The Opposition continued their protest on Tuesday over various issues such as the crackdown on protestors, the Ram Temple donation theft and more. However, this time the INDIA bloc was met with a counter-protest by MPs from the ruling NDA.
Several lawmakers from the NDA marched towards the Parliament’s Makar Dwar on Tuesday, carrying placards with slogans like “Grah Mantri ki Charcha se Rahul Gandhi bhago mat (Rahul Gandhi, don’t run away from Home Minister’s reply)”.
