Opposition parties staged a walkout in the Rajya Sabha demanding a discussion on the Indo-US trade deal, while the government assured a suo motu statement and full details of the agreement.

Opposition stages walkout demanding discussion on Indo-US trade deal

Opposition parties staged a walkout in the Rajya Sabha demanding a discussion on the Indo-US trade deal, while the government assured a suo motu statement and full details of the agreement.

Members of several opposition parties on Tuesday staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha while raising the issue of the Indo-US trade deal and demanding a discussion on it.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh raised the issue of the Indo-US trade deal soon after the zero hour ended and alleged that the information about the deal was being received from Washington instead.
As opposition members started protesting in the House, Leader of the House J P Nadda said the US President was informed about the reduction in tariffs on Indian goods through a post on social media and also spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Nadda alleged that the Opposition's frustration was coming out, and it had started seeing bad even in good things. "I want to assure the House that the government is ready to discuss the Indo-US trade deal and provide all minute details of the deal. The government will come out with a suo motu statement on the trade deal. But this methodology is fatal for democracy and is the irresponsible behaviour of the Indian National Congress and the INDI alliance," Nadda said.
The opposition members continued raising slogans alleging that the interests of the country were being bartered, Chairman C P Radhakrishnan said, when the government is making a statement, and they should listen. He said the government is ready to discuss, but the opposition members are creating an uproar.
Opposition members were on their feet, raising slogans against the government, as they moved towards the front row. Nadda said the government will come out with a suo motu statement today itself, and the government is ready to. "It is your frustration which is speaking. We are ready," he said.
"Their interest is only in creating politics out of everything, and we saw an example of that just now...They are trying to create an atmosphere in the country as if the government is avoiding a discussion. You are an issueless party now. You have got no issues. This is very irresponsible behaviour, and in a way this is anti-national behaviour. It is anti-national," he said, adding that their frustration is being seen at every turn.
All opposition members, except the TMC, later staged a walkout in protest. TMC member Saket Gokhale was sitting in the House and left shortly after the walkout. TMC said it staged a separate walkout on the treatment of SIR-affected families by the Delhi police.

Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya told Rajya Sabha that 2.22 crore people got jobs through 18,000 job fairs in the past year, with unemployment falling to 3.2 per cent.

Govt says 2.22 crore people provided jobs at 18,000 job fairs across country in past year

Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya told Rajya Sabha that 2.22 crore people got jobs through 18,000 job fairs in the past year, with unemployment falling to 3.2 per cent.

A total of 2.22 crore people across the country were provided jobs in over 18,000 job fairs during the past year, Minister of Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya informed the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
The minister also said that employment generation is growing and unemployment rate (3.2 per cent) is reducing in the country.
Replying to supplementaries during Question Hour, the minister informed the Upper House that the government has created a National Career Service Portal as a single platform for providing employment.
"Overall during the last one year, 18,000 job fairs were organised all over the country and in all a total of 2.22 crore people were given jobs during the period across the country," Mandaviya said.
He said that the central government has so far organised 18 job melas and provided 11.49 jobs in the government sector.
The minister said the National Career Service (NCS) portal has become robust in the last one decade and as many as 55 lakh companies are linked to it and all state government platforms are also linked.
A total of over 6 crore job-seeking youth have registered on the portal in the last 10 years, he said.
"I am happy to inform you that the NCS portal has been linked to e-migrate portal, Yuva-Bharat and Skill development platforms to create a single window for jobs," the minister said.
On the portal, as many as 53 lakh people registered in Bihar and 39.8 lakh were shortlisted and job opportunities created for them.
"In all 4.5 lakh youth participated in job fairs, of which 90,000 people were shortlisted and 43,000 people given jobs by companies of both central and state levels," he said.
In his written reply to the question, the minister said, "Job fair is one of the steps towards fulfilment of the commitment of the government to accord highest priority to employment generation amongst youth. Regular job fairs are being organized under various schemes by state governments/ministries/ departments."
He said job fairs are primarily intended to facilitate linkage between jobseekers and local employers, so as to address local employment requirements.
Such fairs focus on employment opportunities aligned with local labour market demand.
Additionally, he said, Ministry of Labour and Employment, is running the NCS portal which is a one-stop solution for providing career related services including job search &amp; matching, information on online &amp; offline job fairs, career counselling, vocational guidance, information on skill development courses, skill/training programmes through it.
"Till 20.01.2026, a total of 3280 job fairs have been organized in Bihar under the NCS project, in which 8,492 employers have participated. Notifying final hiring figures is not a mandatory requirement on NCS portal.
In response to another question, the minister told the House that in 2024, as per published RBI data, the Centre provided 17 crore jobs in the last decade.
The RBI data also shows that in one decade from 2004-2014 a total of 2.9 crore employment generation was done, from 44.23 crore employment in 2003-04 to 47.15 crore employment opportunities in 2013-14.
The 2024 data shows 64.33 crore employment opportunities were provided.
"India's unemployment rate is 3.2 per cent, which is less than even developed countries," he informed the House.
To another supplementary on gig workers, Mandaviya said it is a new concept and several people are getting employment opportunities in the country.
It is estimated that a total of around 2 crore gig workers are working and the new Labour Codes would help ensure social security and health security to them, he said.

A warm moment in Parliament caught the eye as Priyanka Gandhi Vadra shared tea with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also present, while both Houses concluded the Winter Session.

Parliament Moment: Priyanka Gandhi shares tea with Rajnath Singh. PM Modi and Om Birla

A warm moment in Parliament caught the eye as Priyanka Gandhi Vadra shared tea with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also present, while both Houses concluded the Winter Session.

At the end of the Winter Session on Friday, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla held a meeting with leaders of the Lower House in his chamber at Parliament House, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi also in attendance.&nbsp;
Amid the political churn of the session, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was seen seated next to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh during the meeting, sharing a cup of tea &mdash; a moment that stood out against an otherwise turbulent parliamentary sitting.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Soon after, amid continued Opposition protests over the passage of the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, Speaker Om Birla adjourned the Lok Sabha sine die following the playing of Vande Mataram in the House. Prime Minister Modi, who returned a day earlier from a three-nation foreign visit, was present in the Lok Sabha at the time.
The Rajya Sabha was also adjourned sine die shortly after it resumed at 11 am. Before the adjournment, statements and reports were laid on the table of the House. While closing the proceedings, Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan criticised the conduct of some Members during the previous day&rsquo;s sitting. &ldquo;The conduct of members during the Minister's reply yesterday, which included protesting and tearing of papers, was unbecoming of the House,&rdquo; he said.
Opposition parties continued their protest against the VB-G RAM G Bill on Friday. A united Opposition staged a demonstration outside Parliament, while members of the Trinamool Congress carried on their protest on the steps at the entry to the House.
Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who is currently in Germany, also criticised the legislation, describing it as &ldquo;anti-state&rdquo; and &ldquo;anti-village&rdquo; by design. In a post on X, he wrote, &ldquo;Last night, the Modi government demolished twenty years of MGNREGA in one day. VB-G RAM G isn't a 'revamp' of MGNREGA. It demolishes the rights-based, demand-driven guarantee and turns it into a rationed scheme which is controlled from Delhi. It is anti-state and anti-village by design.&rdquo;
He said the earlier scheme empowered rural workers and strengthened rural livelihoods. &ldquo;MGNREGA gave the rural worker bargaining power. With real options, exploitation and distress migration fell, wages increased, working conditions improved, all while building and reviving rural infrastructure. That leverage is precisely what this government wants to break. By capping work and building in more ways to deny it, VB-G RAM G weakens the one instrument which the rural poor had,&rdquo; he added.
Highlighting the role of MGNREGA during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gandhi further said, &ldquo;We saw what MGNREGA meant during COVID. When the economy shut down and livelihoods collapsed, it kept crores from falling into hunger and debt. And it helped women the most - year after year, women have contributed more than half the person-days.&rdquo;

Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan condemns unruly behaviour by opposition MPs during passage of VB-G RAM G Bill, urges introspection, highlights productive Winter Session.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Criticizes Opposition Disruptions in Winter Session

Disruptions in Rajya Sabha & Key Winter Session Highlights

Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan condemns unruly behaviour by opposition MPs during passage of VB-G RAM G Bill, urges introspection, highlights productive Winter Session.

Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan on Friday strongly disapproved of disruptions by Opposition members during the passage of the rural employment guarantee bill (G RAM G), terming the conduct "unbecoming of Members of Parliament", and urged them to introspect and refrain from such behaviour in future.
Radhakrishnan read out a synopsis of the legislative and other business transacted during the 15-day sitting of the Winter session before adjourning the proceedings sine die.
Adjourned sine die (Latin for &lsquo;without a day') means suspending a parliamentary session indefinitely, without setting a specific date to reconvene. It's used when legislative bodies end a session without naming a future date for reassembly.
The Winter session of Parliament started on December 1.
"Disruption created during yesterday's sitting by the Opposition Members by shouting slogans, displaying placards, disrupting the Minister replying to the discussion, tearing up papers and throwing them in the well of the House showed conduct unbecoming of Members of Parliament. I earnestly hope that Hon'ble Members would introspect and not repeat such unruly behaviour in future," he said.
The Rajya Sabha sat past midnight on Thursday to pass legislation that replaced the 20-year-old rural employment scheme -- the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGA) -- by boosting the number of guaranteed workdays to 125, up from the current 100 days per household for unskilled manual labour.
Opposition MPs protested the dropping of the name of the Father of the Nation from the new legislation, Guarantee for Employment and Livelihood Mission - Rural (Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission - Rural).
Other than that, the 269th Session of the Upper House was "highly productive", registering 121 per cent productivity with sittings spanning about 92 hours, he said.
Delivering his valedictory remarks, Radhakrishnan said the Winter Session was significant as it marked his first stint presiding over the House after assuming office. He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Leader of the House J P Nadda, and Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge for their felicitations.
"The warmth and affection in your felicitations proved a source of great encouragement for me as I sat down discharging my constitutional responsibility as the Chairman of this august House," he said.
He said that in his first address, he sought the cooperation of members for the smooth functioning of the House. "I am happy that Hon&rsquo;ble Members cooperated with the Chair to complete a significant amount of Business during this Winter Session."
The Chairman noted that the House agreed to extend sittings or skip lunch recess on five days to transact business. He said the session recorded an unprecedented rise in Zero Hour activity, with an average of over 84 notices received daily -- a 31 per cent increase over the previous two sessions -- while matters actually raised averaged more than 15 per day, up nearly 50 per cent.
Highlighting the quality of deliberations, Radhakrishnan said the House held a two-day special discussion on the 150th anniversary of the national song Vande Mataram, with 82 members participating. A three-day discussion on electoral reforms saw interventions from 57 members.
During the session, the Rajya Sabha passed or returned eight Bills and adopted a statutory resolution on the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Amendment Act, 2024, with participation from 212 members. As many as 59 Private Members' Bills were introduced, reflecting what he described as the "vibrancy of parliamentary democracy".
The Chairman also cited 58 starred questions, 208 Zero Hour submissions and 87 special mentions during the session, and said he issued a detailed ruling clarifying the scope of Rule 267.
Radhakrishnan thanked the Deputy Chairman, members of the panel of vice-chairpersons, the Rajya Sabha Secretariat and the media for their role in ensuring the smooth conduct of proceedings.

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge’s reference to former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s sudden exit triggered protests in the Rajya Sabha during the welcome of new Chairman CP Radhakrishnan.

Kharge mentions Dhankhar's 'sudden' exit in Rajya Sabha, Treasury benches object

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge&rsquo;s reference to former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar&rsquo;s sudden exit triggered protests in the Rajya Sabha during the welcome of new Chairman CP Radhakrishnan.

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday mentioned the "unexpected and sudden exit" of former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar as the Upper House welcomed his successor CP Radhakrishnan, triggering a brief uproar from the Treasury benches, saying it was not suited to the occasion.
Welcoming the Chairman on his first day in the Rajya Sabha on behalf of the Opposition parties, Kharge also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement at the beginning of the Winter Session, and said they would respond later.
The Congress, he said, "staunchly stands by Constitutional values and time-honoured Parliamentary traditions". "Be assured of our cooperation in the conduct of proceedings".
He, however, added, "Fair and impartial conduct of proceedings, providing just opportunity to members of each party, is essential for credibility of this office".
He referred to Dhankhar, who had resigned from the post of Vice-President on July 21 over health issues.
"I am constrained to refer to your predecessor's unexpected and sudden exit from the office of Chairman, which is unprecedented in the annals of Parliamentary history... The Chairman Rajya Sabha, as the custodian of the House, belongs as much to the opposition as to the government," Kharge said, triggering uproar from ruling party benches.
"I was disheartened that this House did not get an opportunity to give him a farewell," he said.
Kharge also mentioned that Radhakrishnan is related to former three-term Lok Sabha MP CK Kuppuswamy, who was a member of the Congress.
"It is better if you keep a balance between both sides. I wish you a successful term... The background you come from was mentioned by the PM, but you should also not forget you are from a Congress family," he said.
"Secondly, PM gave a statement outside (Parliament). He attacked us indirectly as well, we will reply to it here..." he added.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, meanwhile, slammed the Leader of Opposition for mentioning Dhankhar's resignation on the "solemn occasion".
"This is a very solemn occasion... The Prime Minister has made very dignified remarks as part of the felicitation event. .. Why did the honourable Leader of Opposition refer to a case which was not necessary to be raised at this moment..." Rijiju said.
"The language you used for the former chairman, the way you insulted him, the motion you served, we still have that copy..." he said.
He was referring to a motion for the removal of the Vice-President submitted by Opposition parties when Dhankhar was in office.
Leader of the House JP Nadda also intervened, urging members to maintain the dignity of the occasion.
He also referred to the loss faced by the opposition alliance, including Congress, in the recent Bihar assembly polls.
"This program is a pious occasion. We should maintain the dignity of the occasion. The issue that the Leader of Opposition raised, if we start discussing this, it is irrelevant... We will also have to mention that you brought a no-confidence motion against him twice. It is an obstacle in a good and congenial environment debate which is going on," Nadda said.
"Talking about what the Prime Minister spoke outside... The loss of Bihar and Haryana must have given you a lot of pain... Speak about it when the time comes," he said.
Addressing the media on the first day of the Winter Session of Parliament, Prime Minister Modi said the opposition was perturbed by the electoral losses in Bihar and was unable to digest its failure.
"Defeat should not be the ground to create disruption. Victory should not convert into arrogance either," the prime minister said.
Parliament is not a place for drama, it is a place for delivery, he said, adding it should not be used by Opposition to vent out frustration after defeat in elections.

The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament ended on Thursday, with 12 bills cleared by Lok Sabha and 15 by Rajya Sabha, amid repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts by the Opposition.

Monsoon Session: 27 Bills Passed Amid Disruptions in Parliament

27 Bills Passed in Chaotic Monsoon Session

The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament ended on Thursday, with 12 bills cleared by Lok Sabha and 15 by Rajya Sabha, amid repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts by the Opposition.

Twelve bills were passed by the Lok Sabha and 15 by the Rajya Sabha during the month-long Monsoon session of Parliament, which witnessed repeated disruptions, adjournments and walkouts.
Barring discussions on Operation Sindoor in both House, the session has seen little business ever since it began on July 21 due to repeated disruptions and adjournments initially due to opposition demand for discussion on Operation Sindoor and then over demands for a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar.
The Monsoon session came to an end on Thursday.
The bills passed by the Lok Sabha are The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025, The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025, The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025, The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, and The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Other bills passed by the Lok Sabha are The Income-tax Bill, 2025, The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Indian Ports Bill, 2025, The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
The bills passed or returned by the Rajya Sabha are The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025, The Coastal Shipping Bill, 2025, The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Manipur Appropriation (No.2) Bill, 2025, The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2025 and The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025 Other bills passed by the Rajya Sabha are The National Sports Governance Bill, 2025, The National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Income-tax Bill, 2025, The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, The Indian Ports Bill, 2025, The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025, The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2025 and The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025.
"This time in Parliament, there was so much ruckus and opposition didn't cooperate. Due to this obstinate behaviour, opposition missed participating in discussions on several important bills which were passed," a government functionary said.
In the Rajya Sabha, except for The Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, which was passed without any disruption on the first day of the Monsoon session, the other bills were passed after some discussion amid din or only after the Opposition parties staged a walk out, the functionary said.

Rajya Sabha was adjourned on Monday to mourn the death of JMM founder and sitting MP Shibu Soren, remembered as a champion of tribal rights.

Rajya Sabha was adjourned on Monday to mourn the death of JMM founder and sitting MP Shibu Soren, remembered as a champion of tribal rights.

Rajya Sabha proceedings on Monday were adjourned for the day as a mark of respect following the death of sitting MP Shibu Soren.
JMM founder and three time Jharkhand chief minister Soren, 81, died on Monday.
Deputy Chairman Harivansh read out an obituary reference after which MPs stood in their places as a mark of respect to the departed soul.
Thereafter, Harivansh announced adjournment of proceedings for the day.
No official business was taken up.
Harivansh described Soren as a grassroot leader who worked for the empowerment of tribal communities, poor and the downtrodden.
"In his death, the country has lost an experienced parliamentarian, strong advocate for tribal rights, and extremely honoured public representative," he said.
Born on January 11, 1944, in Nemra village (present-day Ramgarh, Jharkhand), he was from the Santhal tribal community. He founded Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and served as Chief Minister of Jharkhand three times between 2005 and 2010.
Soren was five times Lok Sabha MP and served as a Union Minister for Coal under former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2004&ndash;05 and 2006, he said.
He was elected to the Rajya Sabha in June 2020 and served until his death.&nbsp;

Both Shah and Jaishankar spoke in the House on Wednesday as the discussion related to the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor ended. Modi had on Wednesday noted that BJP president J P Nadda, the Leader of House in Rajya Sabha, also spoke in detail on how Operation Sindoor met its objectives while prioritising national security.
His government had responded to the April 22 terror attack with full determination and resolve, he had said.

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge held Home Minister Amit Shah accountable for the Pahalgam terror attack, citing Jammu & Kashmir LG's security lapse admission.

Amit Shah must take responsibility for 'security lapse' at Pahalgam: Mallikarjun Kharge in Rajya Sabha

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge held Home Minister Amit Shah accountable for the Pahalgam terror attack, citing Jammu &amp; Kashmir LG's security lapse admission.

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said Home Minister Amit Shah must take responsibility for the "security lapse" which led to the Pahalgam terror attack, and demanded that accountability be fixed.
He was citing Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha's statement.
Speaking during the special discussion on 'Operation Sindoor' in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in the Upper House, the Congress leader attacked the government and took a jibe at PM Narendra Modi's unscheduled visit to Pakistan in 2015.
Kharge said the prime minister should have been present at all-party meet instead of campaigning in Bihar, and questioned Modi's sincerity towards national security.
Demanding accountability, the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said the government should admit its 'lapses' and 'failure' in stopping terror attacks.
He asked if Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor's statement on security lapses was aimed at "saving" the home minister.
"Jammu Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha himself admitted that Pahalgam was a security lapse and what happened in Pahalgam was unfortunate, innocent people were brutally killed. (Sinha said) I take all responsibility for the incident. However the home minister must take responsibility for security lapse not the LG," Kharge said.
Congress President and LoP Kharge accused the Modi govt of being arrogant, and not responding to letters by the opposition.&nbsp;

The Rajya Sabha faced disruption and was adjourned until 2 PM after the opposition protested dismissal of debate requests concerning Bihar's electoral rolls.
