New Delhi, Aug 10
Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 p.m. on Monday amid loud protests by Opposition members, who continued to demand a response from the government over the police action against NEET protesters as well as the controversy surrounding theft of donations collected for the Ram Temple.
The proceedings in the Lower House have been repeatedly disrupted throughout the ongoing Monsoon Session, with six of the eight Bills passed by the House so far being cleared without any debate.
Monday marked the 16th day of the Monsoon Session. The House was unable to complete the Question Hour.
Amid the continued sloganeering and protests by Opposition members, the proceedings could not run smoothly, prompting the Chair to adjourn the House until 2 p.m.
Despite the disruptions, legislative business continued to be taken up in the House.
Four Bills were introduced on Monday, covering fields related to tribunals, mining and mineral regulation, the name of Kerala, and co-operative development.
The Bills introduced included the Tribunal Reforms Bill, 2026; the Minerals and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026; the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026; and the National Co-operative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
The Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026, proposes to change the name of the state of Kerala to 'Keralam'.
The Tribunals Reforms Bill, 2026, seeks to improve the functioning of tribunals and ensure transparency and uniformity in the appointment and service conditions of tribunal members. It also proposes setting up a National Tribunals Commission.
The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 was introduced by Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy. This Bill seeks to further amend the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957.
Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy also introduced the National Co-operative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026.

The Opposition's demand for a response on the NEET protesters and the Ram Temple donation issue is valid. But blocking the House every single day isn't the solution. Both sides need to find a middle ground. The public is tired of watching the same drama day after day. 🤷♀️
I'm all for discussing the Kerala name change to 'Keralam'. It's about respecting our linguistic heritage. But let's not pretend this is more urgent than the issues of unemployed youth and farmers. The government should prioritize what matters most to the common man.
The fact that six out of eight bills were passed without debate is deeply concerning. We are not a dictatorship; we are a democracy. Passing laws in a rush without proper scrutiny is dangerous. The Speaker needs to take a stronger stand to ensure the House functions smoothly. 😠
Honestly, the monsoon session has been a waste of taxpayers' money. We pay for these MPs to debate, not to shout at each other. The government should also take the Opposition's concerns seriously. Let's hope the second half of the session is more productive. 🤞
It's disappointing that the NEET issue and the Ram Temple donation controversy are not being addressed properly. These are sensitive topics that affect people's trust in the system. The government should respond transparently instead of avoiding the questions. 🙏
