Lok Sabha adjourned within first 20 minutes: Ruckus in Parliament on first day of Monsoon session; oppn MPs raise slogans
Parliament began by paying tribute to the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack and the Air India AI-171 plane crash. However, opposition MPs soon began raising slogans of 'PM Modi jawab do' and demanded an immediate discussion on Operation Sindoor.
Speaker Om Birla assured the House that he would allow discussion on the subject after Question Hour, but opposition MPs continued protesting from the well, leading to adjournment until 12 noon.
'You should give notice, and whatever the issue is, it will be discussed after the Question Hour. The House should function on the first day, and there should be a good discussion. I will give proper time and opportunity to every MP,' Birla said.
'The government wants to answer on every issue. The House should function. You have not come here to raise slogans. The House functions as per the rules and regulations. All the issues raised according to the rules will be discussed,' he added.

Pentagon pulls 700 US Marines from Los Angeles as backlash over deployment continues
The Pentagon has announced the withdrawal of 700 US Marines from Los Angeles, ending a controversial deployment ordered by President Donald Trump in response to protests over immigration raids, despite strong opposition from California's governor and city officials. read more Members of the California National Guard stand outside the Edward R Roybal federal building after their deployment by US President Donald Trump, in response to protests against immigration sweeps, in Los Angeles, California, US June 8, 2025. File Image/Reuters The Pentagon on Monday announced the withdrawal of 700 US Marines from Los Angeles, ending a controversial military deployment that had drawn criticism from local and state leaders. The Marines were sent to the city last month following President Donald Trump's order to deploy thousands of National Guard troops and several hundred Marines in response to widespread protests over federal immigration raids. The move was strongly opposed by California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who both criticized the presence of troops on city streets. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Marines' presence delivered a 'clear message' that lawlessness would not be tolerated. He praised their 'rapid response and discipline' for helping to restore order during a period of unrest. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued the withdrawal order days after authorizing the drawdown of 2,000 National Guard troops, effectively cutting the overall federal troop presence in the city by half. Mayor Karen Bass welcomed the decision in a post on X, calling it 'another win' for Los Angeles and labeling the deployment 'unnecessary.' Los Angeles, a self-declared sanctuary city with a large undocumented population, has been a frequent target of Trump's immigration policies since his return to office earlier this year. Last month's raids triggered protests and tension across the city, prompting Trump to deploy federal forces—despite opposition from state officials. The deployment marked the first time since 1965 that a sitting U.S. president ordered the National Guard into a state against the governor's wishes.
