BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi continued the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address after the House reconvened. Quoting Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Trivedi spoke about India's cultural ethos which, according to him, teaches the world to imbibe the spirit of peaceful coexistence in multipolar world.

Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar expressed deep dismay as LoP Mallikarjun Kharge entered the Well of the House, further escalating the tension.

Trivedi also mentioned the opening of Nalanda University which, he said, was a symbol of educational excellence. "As Prime Minister Narendra Modi said invaders can destroy a vestige of education like Nalanda but can't wipe out India's spirit of resurgence and resilience and emerge from the debris of ashes, our government has ensured opening of Nalanda again," Trivedi said.

Continuing a discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi criticised the Opposition over the arrest of Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.

Pointing out that this isn’t the first time it has happened, Trivedi asked Opposition leaders to make a list of BJP leaders, who were arrested before 2014 when the Congress was in power.

During the ongoing 264th session of the Rajya Sabha, members engaged in a comprehensive debate on the Motion of Thanks regarding the President's address. Among those contributing, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi prominently praised the achievements of the BJP-led government. He highlighted various accomplishments, including a notable 18 per cent increase in defence exports. Additionally, Trivedi underscored India's recent achievement in constructing the world's highest bridge, the Chenab Bridge in Kashmir. Moreover, he emphasised the significant profits generated by Public Sector Banks under the current administration's policies. His remarks underscored the government's strides in economic growth, infrastructure development, and the defence sector, reflecting a broader discourse on national progress and policy outcomes in the Upper House of Parliament.

Opposition members created ruckus demanding immediate discussion on NEET paper leak issue after Rahul Gandhi said he wanted a discussion on NEET to give due honour to students. The proceedings were disrupted as the Opposition members kept sloganeering when Speaker Om Birla asked BJP MP Arjun Meghwal to proceed with his discussion. Amid the Opposition's call for a discussion on the ongoing issue, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi earlier said, “Yesterday, all the leaders of the opposition parties held a meeting and unanimously decided that today, we want a discussion on the NEET issue... There should be a discussion on NEET here in the House. I urge the Prime Minister that this concerns our youth and deserves a thorough and respectful discussion. We will approach it with respect. I invite you to join the discussion and participate because this is about our youth. Parliament should send a message that both the Indian government and the opposition are united in addressing student concerns.”
