NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha is set to hold a 16-hour discussion on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor next Tuesday, following repeated adjournments over the issue. The Upper House on Wednesday faced disruption after disruption as Opposition MPs demanded an immediate debate, forcing an early end to the day's proceedings. From the morning, tensions ran high. The House met at 11 am but was soon adjourned after Opposition parties began protesting. Another adjournment followed at 12 pm, with MPs insisting that the SIR issue be addressed first. When the House reconvened for its post-lunch sitting at 2 pm, the protests showed no sign of stopping. Ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal attempted to move The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025 for discussion and passing, but was met with loud objections. Opposition MPs, many of whom stood in protest while some entered the Well of the House, raised slogans and insisted that Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge be allowed to speak. As the uproar continued, Bhubaneswar Kalita, presiding over the session, adjourned the House for the day. Earlier, deputy chairman Harivansh informed members that he had received 25 notices under Rule 267.
