The Lok Sabha session ended for the day after opposition members conducted protests which blocked all parliamentary work for two consecutive days thus stopping any conversations about the Union Budget which the government had presented on February 1.

Speaker Om Birla announced to the members during his House adjournment that the Budget Session had experienced 19 hours and 13 minutes of interrupted time because of various disruptions. The Speaker explained to members that they needed to use parliamentary debate for solving problems which they should raise through their elected mandate.

The House was still disrupted after the adjournment because opposition MPs entered the Well of the House to shout their slogans while they showed their placards. Krishna Prasad Tenneti who presided over the proceedings asked the members to return to their seats so they could establish order in the session. The House ended its session for the day because the protests continued without any sign of ending.

The Lok Sabha will now reconvene at 11 a.m. on Monday, February 9, 2026. The first phase of the Budget Session will end on February 13 and then Parliament will take a break until March 9.

The session has experienced more than 40 session interruptions which began on February 2 because of ongoing uk government conflict between the two political parties. The Lok Sabha passed the Motion of Thanks without Prime Minister Modi giving his usual response because continuous chanting stopped him from making his speech to the House.

The current standoff began when Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi encountered restrictions which prevented him from reading passages from former Army chief M. M. Naravane’s unpublished memoir about the 2020 India-China conflict. Protests have repeatedly disrupted parliamentary work since that time, which has raised doubts about Parliament’s ability to operate normally during the important Budget Session.
