Parliament Live Updates: LS Adjourned Till 2 PM Amid Ruckus Over Deportation; Jaishankar To Issue Statement In Both Houses Later Today

Parliament Budget Session Live: The Prime Minister's Office has confirmed that PM Narendra Modi will speak in Rajya Sabha at 4 pm today. "At around 4 PM today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be speaking in the Rajya Sabha," the PMO said in a post on X. The Prime Minister is set to reply to the discussion on President Droupadi Murmu's address.

Sources told ETV Bharat that the New Income Tax Bill is likely to be cleared by the cabinet tomorrow and shall be tabled in Loksabha on Monday. The new bill, which will replace the 6-decade old Income Tax Act, 1961, has been drafted within six months and efforts have been made to simplify the language to make tax compliance easier for taxpayers and make it easier to read and understand.

On Feb 3, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chief Ravi Agrawal had asked industry players to give their suggestions on the new income tax bill.

INDIA bloc leaders including Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi, Rajya Sabha LoP Mallikarjun Kharge, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, and several other MPs including those from Aam Aadmi Party protested today in parliament premises against the deportation of Indians.

Some of them were seen wearing handcuffs, showcasing the claims that those Indians deported from the US were kept in chains throughout their 24-hour-long journey in a military aircraft from America to Amritsar.

The MPs were seen raising slogans and carrying placards, some of which read "Indian insulted, India won't stay silent", "Humans not prisoners", and "United against inhumanity". A US military aircraft carrying 104 illegal immigrants from various states landed in Amritsar on Wednesday, the first such batch of Indians deported by the Donald Trump government as part of a crackdown against illegal immigrants.

Parliament Budget Session Live: RS Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar managed to calm down the protesting MPs as soon as the house resumed proceedings at noon today after the initial adjournment.

"Members under rule 267 today, an issue was raised and Congress deputy leader in Rajya Sabha Pramod Tiwari met me in the chamber. The issue concerns deportation from the US. The External Affairs Minister will make the statement during the day. I will allow members to briefly intervene. The parliamentary affairs minister has agreed," Dhankhar said.

He added that EAM S Jaishankar had met him in his chamber this morning over the matter. Kiren Rijiju also told the house that the EAM will make a statement at 2 pm but he said the house has to follow the conventions.

LoP in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge thanked the RS Chairman and said, "It was after you issued directions that the government had to agree and issue a statement. So I thank you," he said.

EAM Jaishankar also briefly spoke in the house, thanking the chairman. "Gracious enough to mention that I came to you today morning. I am glad that this point was brought up," Jaishankar said.
