Lok Sabha adjourned within first 20 minutes: Ruckus in Parliament on first day of Monsoon session; oppn MPs raise slogans
NEW DELHI: Despite calls for government-opposition coordination, the first sitting of the Lok Sabha in the Monsoon Session was adjourned just 20 minutes after it began, amid slogans by opposition MPs demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's response to US President Donald Trump's claims of brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Redefine Your Future with a Top Online MBA SRM Online Enquire Now Undo This comes a day after Union minister Kiren Rijiju called for government-opposition coordination to ensure smooth functioning of the session and reiterated that the Centre 'will respond appropriately' if the opposition raises the issue of US President Donald Trump's claims on Operation Sindoor.

The Chief Minister said that while India struggled under the shackles of slavery in the medieval era, Sadguru Ravidas Ji stood firm as a symbol of spiritual strength and cultural resilience. 'In that period, when foreign forces were systematically trying to destroy our heritage, Sadguru Ravidas Ji Maharaj became a ray of light,' he said. Speaking about the significance of Kashi, where Sant Ravidas was born, Yogi Adityanath added, 'Sadguru Ravidas ne jo Kashi mai prerna di, vo aaj bhi desh aur har bhakt ke liye ek margdarshak ke roop mein kaam karti hai (The inspiration of Sadguru Ravidas Ji in Kashi continues to serve as a guiding force for the nation and his devotees even today).' Adding further, he said, 'The divine saints have shown society the path of unity, to unite the society, it is the way that does not let incidents like Kairana and Kandhla happen. It is the way that guarantees our safety, guarantees our protection, paves the way for our upliftment and gives us the inspiration to fight in difficult situations...' The Chief Minister was addressing a gathering and satsang program organised on the death anniversary of Saint Swami Gyan Bhikshuk Das Ji Maharaj in Muzaffarnagar. Earlier on Tuesday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath unveiled the statue of Maharaja Suheldev in Bahraich and also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of various public welfare projects on the occasion of 'Vijayotsav' of Maharaja Suheldev. He also inaugurated an exhibition at the BJP office in Lucknow as Prime Minister Narendra Modi completed 11 years in office on Tuesday.

Stop glorification of foreign invaders, honour national heroes: Yogi
LUCKNOW Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday emphasised that glorification of foreign invaders should be stopped and national heroes be honoured while launching a scathing attack on the Congress, the Samajwadi Party (SP) and other opposition parties, saying they did not honour national icon Maharaja Suheldev when they were in power. As per historians, Maharaja Suheldev, an icon of the Rajbhar community, had defeated and killed Ghaznavid general Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masood in a battle on the banks of the Chittora Lake in Bahraich in 1033 AD. 'No memorials, universities, or medical colleges were named after the icon when opposition parties were in power. The fear of losing the Muslim vote bank prevented them from uttering a word against foreign invaders,' he said at a programme to mark the 'Vijayotsav' of Maharaja Suheldev, near Chittora block's Masihabad Gram Sabha in Bahraich. Adityanath inaugurated the 40-feet bronze equestrian statue of Maharaja Suheldev and launched 384 development projects worth ₹1,243 crore in the district. 'While the BJP commemorates Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel with the Statue of Unity, SP sings praises of divisive figures like Jinnah. We have made it clear — glorifying invaders must end, and national heroes must be honoured,' he said. The CM said Maharaja Suheldev had presented a strategic and valiant response to foreign invaders a millennium ago but never received the honour he deserved in history. 'PM Modi's campaign for development and heritage inspired our double-engine government to honour him. Bahraich's medical college has been named after Maharaja Suheldev, as has the state university in Azamgarh. The hospital is named after Rishi Balark. Our main events in Bahraich will now be dedicated to Suheldev, Rishi Balark, and Maa Pateshwari — not any foreign invader,' Adityanath declared. The remarks came in the backdrop of the controversy over the Bahraich district administration denying permission for the annual 'Jeth Mela', which was traditionally held at the dargah of Salar Masood from May 15 to June 15 and drew lakhs of pilgrims. Thanking party workers, the CM said, 'Your enthusiasm since morning shows that the fair must be organized to celebrate Maharaja Suheldev, not invaders like Salar Masud.' Referring to PM Modi's 'Paanch Pran' (five pledges), Yogi added: 'Respecting heritage means honouring Suheldev. Freedom from colonial mindset means ending events held in the name of Masud. Today, your discipline and unity reflect respect for law and the Constitution.' 'History may have been unjust to Maharaja Suheldev, but the double-engine BJP government will not allow that injustice to continue. He was a symbol of valour and bravery. Those who fought alongside him to protect India's land and faith from foreign invaders were also long deprived of recognition and benefits,' he said. The CM announced that a grand memorial will be built in Lucknow in the honour of Maharaja Bijli Pasi, who defeated foreign invaders. The state government will also honour four women warriors from the 1857 revolt who had dealt major blows to the British forces. The medical college and university in Jhansi have been named after Rani Laxmibai. In Badaun, a women's PAC battalion has been formed in the name of Veerangana Avantibai Lodhi, and her equestrian statue will be installed there. In Lucknow, construction is underway for a women's PAC battalion named after Veerangana Uda Devi — about 35-40% of the work has been completed and her statue will be installed upon completion. A similar battalion is also being established in Gorakhpur in the name of Jhalkari Bai, along with a grand statue, the CM added. A memorial and cultural centre is under construction in Lucknow in the honour of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar. The construction work will be completed by his death anniversary on December 6. Scholarships for SC/ST students are being arranged and will be implemented soon, he said. The CM performed 'Annaprashan' rituals for the children of Priyanka, Sumitra, Savitri, Seema, and Rajni, naming them after Maharaja Suheldev. He also distributed cheques of ₹5 lakh each to beneficiaries Kailash Kumar, Chandrashekhar, and Pramod Kumar under the Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Vikas Abhiyan. Vijayotsav Fair The chief minister proposed that from next year onwards, the Vijayotsav event should be held over three days. He called for academic programmes, wider distribution of the Maharaja Suheldev Memorial Trust magazine, scholarships for students, and construction of a good library. 'This will ensure that no one can erase the legacy of national heroes like Maharaja Suheldev from the pages of history,' he said.
