Amid the ongoing deadlock in the monsoon session, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju spoke with Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, for the second time. Discussions were held to resolve the impasse in the House.

Kiren Rijiju met Rahul Gandhi for the second time in two days.

Amid the ongoing deadlock in the monsoon session, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju spoke with Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, for the second time in two days. Sources indicate that the Parliamentary Affairs Minister and Rahul Gandhi discussed breaking the deadlock in the House, including supporting women's reservations and delimitation. Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi stated that he would work with all parties in the All India Alliance to discuss the matter with the government.

Congress accused the government of spreading confusion

According to sources, the numbers are sufficient to pass the bill, but since Congress is the main opposition party, the government wants to bring it on board. During the monsoon session of Parliament, heated exchanges erupted between the Congress and the government over delimitation and House proceedings. Congress accused the government of spreading confusion and avoiding discussion, while party leaders said the opposition is ready to debate every issue, but the government must also fulfill its responsibilities.

Spoke to Rahul Gandhi: Kiren Rijiju

The opposition is repeatedly demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah attend the House. Regarding this, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said, "PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah remain in Parliament, leaving only in the evening. Bills are being passed, and many MPs are participating in discussions. This puts the new Congress MPs at a disadvantage because they cannot speak. That issue has long since been resolved, but these people stage a drama every morning, harping on the same issue. Prime Minister Modi made a historic decision in the interest of students, but these people come early in the morning and insult Lord Ram."

He said, "I had a good conversation with the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. We want to continue talking to the Congress and other opposition parties. We are opponents, not enemies. We want to work in the national interest. The Home Minister is in Parliament from morning till evening."

House proceedings adjourned

On July 6, the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day after a single adjournment due to uproar by members of several opposition parties, including the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, over the alleged theft of offerings at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and police action against protesting students in Delhi. The House passed the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, without discussion, amid the opposition uproar. Question Hour and Zero Hour were not held in the House for a single day since the beginning of the monsoon session.
