Day 3 of the winter session of Parliament began at 11 am today (November 28) for a brief while with Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Ravindra Vasantrao Chavan taking oath as Lok Sabha Members after winning the bye-polls from Wayanad and Nanded Parliamentary seats respectively.

Right after the oath-taking, the Opposition created a ruckus for a discussion on the Adani issue in the Lok Sabha (Lower House) following which it was adjourned until 12 pm.

An identical situation was observed in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House) and proceedings were adjourned until 12 pm as well after sloganeering from several opposition leaders calling for a discussion on the issues of Adani’s indictment, the Manipur conflict and the Sambhal Violence.

As soon as the houses resumed proceedings at noon, similar sloganeering erupted again. Amid protests in the Lower House, the Joint Panel on Waqf (Amendment) Bill got an extension up to the last day of the Budget session, 2025.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju lashed out at the grand old party saying that he condemned the attempts by the Congress and its allies in disrupting the House proceedings. "The opposition members were protesting despite the government agreeing to their demands for extension of the tenure of the Joint Committee on the Waqf Amendment Bill and debate in the House on certain issues," he added.

Proceedings of the Rajya Sabha were washed out for the third day in a row on Thursday after opposition MPs created uproar over the Adani issue and the violence in Manipur and Sambhal.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar said that any form of deviation from the rules in the House is virtually violation of this temple. "Parliamentary disruption is not a remedy, it is a malady. This chamber is more than just a house of debate - our national spirit has to echo from here. I urge you all to embrace the spirit of meaningful dialogue. Let us return to traditional thoughtful discussion," he added.

The Parliament's winter session started on November 25 but was interrupted early, leading to the day's adjournment of both Houses. MPs were outraged by several issues, including the Sambhal violence and the turmoil in Manipur. The second day marked the 75th Constitution Day and there was no sitting. On the third day, within an hour, both houses were adjourned as the opposition created a ruckus over the Adani Bribery Case.
