Monsoon Session of Parliament 2025 Bills Highlights: The Lok Sabha, on the first day of the Monsoon Session on Monday ended early at 4 PM after four adjournments. The disruption continued following the Opposition’s sloganeering while demanding a debate on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Rajya Sabha also faced short adjournments in the morning for similar reasons.
Opposition members criticised the government for failing to catch those behind the terror attack and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi come to the House. In response, Union Ministers JP Nadda (in Rajya Sabha) and Kiren Rijiju (in Lok Sabha) said the government is ready to discuss the issues, but only under the proper rules.
Justice Varma’s impeachment
Members of Parliament on Monday intensified pressure on Justice Yashwant Varma’s impeachment proceedings by submitting formal notices to the Chairs of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The Allahabad High Court judge is at the centre of a controversy after bundles of burnt currency notes were reportedly discovered at his residence in Delhi.
Following the incident, Justice Varma was repatriated from the Delhi High Court back to the Allahabad High Court.
A cross-party delegation submitted a removal notice to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, citing Articles 124, 217 and 218 of the Constitution. The notice bore the signatures of 145 members of the Lower House, including Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, BJP leaders Ravi Shankar Prasad and Anurag Thakur, NCP-SP’s Supriya Sule, Congress leaders K C Venugopal and K Suresh, DMK’s T R Baalu, RSP’s N K Premachandran and IUML’s ET Mohammed Basheer, among others.
A parallel notice, signed by 63 Rajya Sabha members, was also submitted to Upper House Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.
‘AAIB report unbiased’: Aviation Minister
Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu while taking multiple questions over Air India crash probe, said that the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has successfully decoded the black box data and this has happened for the first time in India. He assured that the AAIB is following a clear, rule-based, and unbiased investigation process. Slamming the western media for pushing its own narrative and addressing the ongoing speculation around the crash, the minister said the government is committed to the truth and not interested in anything else. He added that the exact cause of the crash will be known only after the AAIB completes its final report as the preliminary report cannot answer all questions.
PM Modi’s address ahead of Monsoon Session
Calling the Monsoon Session a “Vijay Utsav”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that it will be productive and filled with key discussions. The PM was addressing the nation via media, ahead of the monsoon session in the Parliament today. He further hailed the Indian armed forces for decimating the terror targets in “just 22 minutes” during Operation Sindoor, and also praised the outreach programme carried by the MPs post Op Sindoor. “The entire world has now recognised Pak-sponsored terrorism,” PM Modi said adding that they saw the “power of Made in India weapons.” PM Modi further vowed to put an end to Naxalism in the country and also hailed Shubhanshu Shukla’s ISS achievement. “India’s flag being hoisted at the International Space Station is a moment of pride for every Indian,” he said.
