No protest, sloganeering in M.P. Assembly, says circular for Monsoon Session; Congress slams move
The Madhya Pradesh Assembly Secretariat has prohibited protests and sloganeering in the Assembly premises in the upcoming Monsoon session that is scheduled to start from July 28, with the move drawing a criticism from the Opposition Congress. The ban was issued in a circular dated July 10 issued by A.P. Singh, Principal Secretary, M.P. Assembly concerning security protocols ahead of the upcoming session. 'Hon'ble Members are also requested that under the Standing Order 94(2) of Hon'ble Speaker, sloganeering and demonstrations in the Assembly premises by Hon'ble Members are prohibited,' said the circular, that also includes various other security protocols. Slamming the move, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Umang Singhar said that the decision was taken 'under pressure from the government'. 'The government, which gives false and fake statistics in the Assembly, is issuing such rules and orders by pressurizing the Speaker to protect itself from being exposed. This is the murder of democracy,' he said, while reiterating the Congress's demand of live streaming the House proceedings. 'Article 194 of the Constitution gives special powers to the MLAs to raise the public's issues in the House. We strongly oppose this move and like before, we will raise public issues loudly in the upcoming session,' he said. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Singh, however, said that this was a routine circular that is issued for security purposes ahead of each session. 'There is no new or special provision in it. No ban has been imposed separately. Such circulars are issued before each session with such requests and the rest is left on the members' wisdom,' he said.

Sudden deaths caused by health issues, genetic link not Covid vax: Nadda
New Delhi: Covid-19 vaccination did not increase the risk of sudden deaths, said Union Health Minister JP Nadda in the Parliament on Friday. Speaking in the Lok Sabha during the ongoing Monsoon session, Nadda noted the role of underlying health issues, as well as genetic links behind the rising unexplained deaths in the country. "Covid-19 vaccination does not appear to increase the risk, whereas the role of underlying health issues, genetic predisposition, and risky lifestyle choices does play a role in unexplained sudden deaths,' said Nadda. He cited the studies undertaken by the ICMR and NCDC, as well as the ICMR and AIIMS, to investigate the causes of sudden death. 'The studies observed that Covid-19 vaccination did not increase the risk of unexplained sudden death among young adults in India. Past Covid-19 hospitalisation, family history of sudden death, and certain lifestyle behaviours increased the likelihood of unexplained sudden death,' Nadda said. 'Early analysis of data from the AIIMS-led study indicates that heart attacks, or myocardial infarction (MI), continue to be the leading cause of sudden death in this age group. Importantly, no major changes in the pattern of causes have been observed when compared with previous years before the Covid-19 pandemic,' he added. Meanwhile, the government informed the Parliament that Covid claimed 164 lives between April and July in the recent summer wave. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Prataprao Jadhav shared details on Covid cases increasing in the country during the last three months. 'There was a slight increase in Covid 19 cases reported by States/UTs from the end of May 2025, which declined significantly since mid-June,' Jadhav said. 'As of July 22, 164 deaths due to Covid-19 had been reported by states/UTs since the first of April; the majority had comorbidities,' he added.

Lok Sabha to take up removal motion against Justice Varma: Rijiju
The Lok Sabha will soon convene to discuss a motion seeking the removal of Justice Yashwant Varma, who is facing allegations in a corruption-related case, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Friday. 'We shouldn't remain in any doubt, proceedings to remove Justice Yashwant Varma will begin in the Lok Sabha,' Rijiju said, adding that all parties had agreed to move unitedly in action against alleged corruption in the judiciary. The development comes after 152 members of the Lok Sabha submitted the motion to Speaker Om Birla on July 21, the opening day of the Monsoon session of Parliament. The Rajya Sabha also received a similar notice on the same day, signed by 63 Opposition MPs. On Thursday, news agency PTI reported that a three-member inquiry committee is expected to be formed soon to probe the matter. It added that Speaker Birla is expected to approach the Chief Justice of India to recommend two individuals for the panel — one Supreme Court judge and one High Court chief justice. In addition, the Speaker will nominate a distinguished jurist of his own choosing to complete the three-member committee. Why is Justice Varma under the scanner? Justice Varma came under scrutiny after bundles of burnt and partially burnt currency were discovered at his official residence earlier this year. In response, an internal committee of judges was formed to investigate the incident. The panel later submitted a report recommending his impeachment. Justice Varma has since approached the Supreme Court, requesting that the report be set aside. On July 23, the top court stated it would form a bench to examine his petition.
