The Monsoon session of Parliament opened dramatically, with opposition parties causing repeated adjournments by insisting on immediate discussions regarding Operation Sindoor. They also initiated removal procedures against Justice Yashwant Varma after cash was reportedly found at his residence.
A notice to remove the judge was submitted to the Rajya Sabha Chairman signed by 63 opposition members, and a similar effort in the Lok Sabha gathered the support of 152 members, including key figures like Rahul Gandhi.
Prime Minister Modi, expressing confidence in the ruling alliance, labeled the session as a 'Vijay Utsav' while committing to address the opposition's points. Despite appeals for normalcy, proceedings were frequently disrupted as discussions on major legislative issues were sidelined by protests.
