New Delhi

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till noon on Monday after disruptions by Opposition members over the police action against students protesting NEET paper leak and the alleged theft of Ram Temple donations prevented the House from taking up the Question Hour.

Soon after the House met, Speaker Om Birla congratulated Indian athletes for their performance at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, noting that women athletes had won eight gold medals. He also said the 2030 Commonwealth Games would be held in Ahmedabad.

As Birla called the first listed question for oral reply, Opposition MPs began raising slogans, prompting him to question whether they came to the House with the intention of disrupting proceedings.

"Do you come after planning to disrupt and not let the House function? I feel you do it deliberately," Birla said, while appealing to them to return to their seats.

With the protests continuing, the Speaker adjourned the House till noon.

Since the session began on July 20, the Lok Sabha has not been able to transact the Question Hour on any day as proceedings have repeatedly been disrupted within minutes of the House assembling.

According to the day's List of Business, the government is slated to introduce two Bills in the House later in the day.

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Statistics and Programme Implementation Rao Inderjit Singh is scheduled to introduce the Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2026, which seeks to provide a comprehensive statutory framework for the Indian Statistical Institute to enable it to emerge as a globally recognised centre of excellence in statistical science.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is slated to introduce the Bankers' Books Evidence Bill, 2026, which seeks to align the law relating to evidence with respect to bankers' books with contemporary digital banking practices.

The House is also scheduled to take up for consideration and passing the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, which seeks to increase the sanctioned strength of judges of the apex court to 38, including the Chief Justice of India.
