The winter session of the parliament began on November 25 but faced early disruptions, resulting in the adjournment of both Houses for the day. No sitting was held on November 26, on the occasion of the 75th Constitution Day.
Here are the Live updates on the Parliament Winter Session:
The Congress said on Tuesday that it will launch protests, both inside and outside Parliament, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, against the lack of Central assistance for the landslide survivors of Wayanad.
Party leader and Kalpetta MLA T Siddique described the Centre’s alleged reluctance to provide financial aid to the people in landslide-affected areas as an “inhuman” approach.
