Lok Sabha adjourned after Opposition MPs arrive wearing slogan T-shirts

The Lok Sabha was adjourned on Thursday after Speaker Om Birla objected to opposition members entering the House wearing T-shirts with political slogans. The move triggered a heated exchange as several MPs from the Congress, TMC, and other opposition parties continued their protest against the government’s policies.

The conflict began when opposition members raised slogans inside the House while wearing T-shirts displaying messages critical of the government. Speaker Om Birla intervened, citing parliamentary decorum, and directed the MPs to remove the slogan-bearing attire before participating in discussions. He warned that such visual demonstrations were against House rules and disrupted proceedings.

Despite the Speaker’s directive, opposition members refused to comply, insisting on their right to protest within the House. They accused the government of evading accountability on crucial issues and alleged that their voices were being suppressed. As the tensions escalated, Speaker Birla adjourned the session, emphasizing the need to maintain the sanctity of parliamentary proceedings.

The protest is part of a broader opposition movement demanding greater transparency and action on pressing national concerns. With the next session approaching, political analysts anticipate further clashes between the government and opposition over matters of free expression in Parliament.
