Lok Sabha adjourned for the day amid continued sloganeering by Opposition MPs

The Lok Sabha's winter session begins with chaos as Opposition sloganeering forces multiple adjournments, halting legislative business for the day.

"Do you want to be heard or not? If you don't want to be heard, the House is adjourned till Tuesday, December 2 at 11 AM, - MP Krishna Prasant Tenneti"

New Delhi, December 1

The Lower House of the Parliament, the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day on Monday, and will meet on Tuesday (December 2), 11 AM.

The first day of the winter session of Parliament saw repeated sloganeering, with the ruling party alleging that the Opposition MPs are not letting the house function. Between 11 AM to 2 PM, the house saw 3 total adjournments, and legislative business of just around 50 minutes took place.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman introduced the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Bill, 2025 bill on the floor of the house for consideration and passing.

"The Central government amended the Central Goods and Services Act of 2017, particularly section 121 to 134 of the finance Act 2025. This was passed by Parliament and enacted in 2024. These changes also came into effect on October 2025 after more than half of the states updated their GST. But unfortunately Manipur GST could not happen in time as the state assembly was in a suspended mode," the Union Finance Minister said on the floor amid repeated sloganeering.

Meanwhile, MP Krishna Prasant Tenneti, sitting on the Speaker's chair, urged the Opposition MPs to maintain decorum and get back to their seats, where they can be heard properly.

"Please be seated. Kindly go back to your seats, let the proceedings go on, I will listen to you but not like this. Kindly go back to your seats, so I can hear you, now I cannot hear you. If 20-40 people speak together then I cannot hear you," MP Krishna Prasant Tenneti said while sitting at the Speaker's chair.

Even after repeated requests, the sloganeering continued, prompting the chair to adjourn the house.

"Do you want to be heard or not? If you don't want to be heard, the House is adjourned till Tuesday, December 2 at 11 AM," the MP added.

Earlier, multiple Opposition leaders raised the slogan of "vote chor, gaddi chod" in the House, while also demanding a discussion on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across the country. The same slogans continued throughout the day.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman introduced the Health Security se National Security Cess Bill, 2025 and the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025. The bill was introduced in the House via a voice vote.

While the disruption is unfortunate, the Opposition has a point about the electoral roll revision. That is a fundamental issue for our democracy. The government should allow a discussion instead of pushing bills through voice votes when the house is in chaos.

Just 50 minutes of work? My tax money pays for this. The Speaker tried his best, but no one was listening. Shameful display from both sides. They forget they are there to serve the nation, not their parties.

The issue with Manipur's GST update is a serious one, highlighting how state-level instability can delay crucial financial integration. Hope this bill gets passed smoothly tomorrow. The people of Manipur shouldn't suffer because of political deadlock in Delhi.

"Vote chor, gaddi chod" – strong words. But is this the way to raise issues? There is a procedure. The Chair is right, if 40 people shout together, no one can be heard. This is just political theatre for the evening news.

Another day, another adjournment. When will our Parliament function like it's supposed to? We elect them to debate and legislate, not to shout each other down. Feeling very disappointed as a young voter.
