The winter Session of Parliament day 2 continues.
Reportedly Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday was disallowed for the second day from quoting an article that cited an unpublished “memoir” of former Army chief M M Naravane on the 2020 India-China conflict.
Gandhi wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, lodging his strong protest over being disallowed to speak in the House on a matter of national security and terming it a “blot on our democracy”.
The Rajya Sabha also saw discussions on the India-US trade deal. Some opposition members accused the government of not addressing concerned problems of a common man.
Reportedly Eight Congress MPs – Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Gurdeep Singh Aujla, Hibi Eden, Dean Kuriakose, Prashant Padole, Kiran Kumar Reddy, S Venkataraman and Manickam Tagore, were suspended for raising slogans and throwing torn paper bits in the Well of the House.

Parliament Budget Session 2026 Live: KC Venugopal Seeks Discussion On India-US Deal In Lok Sabha
Congress MP KC Venugopal on Tuesday gave an Adjournment Motion notice in Lok Sabha to discuss the India-US trade agreement, claiming “adverse consequences” for Indian industries and farmers.
The India-US trade deal reduces tariffs on Indian goods in the US to 18 per cent, while Washington has claimed the deal will help it export more agricultural products to New Delhi.
He wrote, “This House do now adjourn to discuss a matter of urgent public importance, namely the serious concerns arising out of the reported trade deal between India and the United States, which has been publicly announced by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and not by the Government of India. The US President has claimed that the trade deal was concluded at the request of the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India and has further stated that India has agreed to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to zero, effectively opening Indian markets to US goods. Such a move is likely to have far-reaching adverse consequences for Indian industries, traders, MSMEs, and farmers.”
