Lok Sabha Adjournment: The session was briefly adjourned amid disruptions from both opposition and treasury benches.
West Bengal Division Controversy: Trinamool Congress raised concerns over remarks about dividing West Bengal, leading to heated protests.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Lok Sabha was briefly adjourned today due to significant uproar from both the opposition and treasury benches. This disruption centered around two contentious issues: the potential division of West Bengal and an alleged scam involving a Karnataka minister.
During the Monsoon Session 2024, Trinamool Congress (TMC) member Kalyan Banerjee attempted to raise the issue of West Bengal’s possible bifurcation. This controversy arose from remarks allegedly made by Union Minister Sukanata Majumdar and BJP leader Nishikant Dubey. Speaker Om Birla ruled that Majumdar’s comments were not made within the House, and Dubey’s remarks were part of the Zero Hour, which limited their scope for discussion.
In response, TMC members gathered in the Well of the House, vocally protesting against what they view as a conspiracy to divide West Bengal. Their actions highlighted the sensitivity and significance of this issue within regional politics, reflecting the broader concerns of the party regarding state division.

Meanwhile, the session was further disrupted by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and senior BJP leader Anurag Thakur, who raised slogans and protests related to the alleged scam involving a Karnataka minister. These additional disruptions underscored the charged political atmosphere and the complexities involved in managing such controversies in the parliamentary context.
The adjournment of the Lok Sabha not only reflects the current volatility in Indian politics but also emphasizes the challenges faced in maintaining legislative order amid high-stakes issues. As the House is set to resume, there is an urgent need for resolution and effective management of these contentious matters. The ongoing session aims to navigate these turbulent waters while striving to address the pressing issues raised by both sides.
