Parliament Adjourned for Second Day
Parliament in India was adjourned for the second day in a row because of protests and disruptions.
This means no debates or discussions happened, and important bills were delayed.
Running Parliament costs a lot of money, around Rs 9 crore for a six-hour day.
The government and opposition have different reasons for why this is happening.
The government says the opposition is causing disruptions, while the opposition says the government isn't listening to their concerns.
This affects how laws are made and how much taxpayer money is spent.
Parliament adjourned for the second consecutive day due to disruptions.
Cost of running Parliament is Rs 2.5 lakh per minute.
A six-hour sitting day costs approximately Rs 9 crore.
Key legislations delayed include Income-tax (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026.
Monsoon Session scheduled from July 20 to August 13 with 19 sittings over 25 days.
