Parliament Monsoon Session HIGHLIGHTS: Both Houses adjourned till August 3 amid Opposition's continued uproar

Both Houses adjourned for the day amid sloganeering by Opposition MPs. The Houses will reconvene on Monday (August 3) at 11 am. 

The Lok Sabha on Friday passed the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026, without a debate amid continued protests by the Opposition over police crackdown on students during the July 20 parliament march. The bill was taken up for consideration and passage after the House reassembled at noon with BJP MP Dilip Saikia in the Chair.

The Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till August 3. The proceedings at the Upper House will now commence on Monday at 11 am. 

The Lok Sabha has been adjourned till 12 noon, just minutes after the House assembled for the day's proceedings during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament. The House witnessed disruptions soon after it convened at 11 am, prompting the Chair to adjourn the proceedings. 

On Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill passed in both houses of the Parliament, 2026, BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan says, "Our profound gratitude to PM Modi for this historic bill, which has given statutory protection and honour to our national song Vande Mataram, similar to our national anthem, our constitution and our national flag. Anybody opposing this bill, like DMK and other parties, is assaulting national unity, and these forces are also disrespecting and dishonouring generations of selfless sacrifices by our freedom fighters who gave up their lives reciting these patriotic words... Rahul Gandhi did not even participate in the discussion in Parliament commemorating the 150th year of Vande Mataram... The same divisive mindset shown by Nehru's Congress is being reflected now by the DMK and other parties..."

Apart from legislative business, the Rajya Sabha is scheduled to take up statements by ministers regarding the implementation of recommendations made by various Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committees. The House is scheduled to begin proceedings at 11 am.

Before legislative business begins, ministers will lay various papers on the Table of the House. Reports of the Standing Committee on Rural Development and Panchayati Raj will also be presented in the Lok Sabha.

The Lower House will consider a motion seeking more time for the Joint Committee examining the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, 2025, along with the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025. The proposal aims to extend the deadline for submitting the committee's report.

Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi is set to move the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026, in the Rajya Sabha. The Bill proposes amendments to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

The Lok Sabha will also take up the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026. Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal will move the legislation for discussion and passage in the House.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will introduce the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026, for consideration and passage in the Lok Sabha. The proposed legislation seeks to amend the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969.

Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will take up several important legislative proposals on Friday as the Monsoon Session continues. The Lower House is scheduled to consider the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, while the Upper House will discuss the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
