The Winter Session of the Parliament resumed today as parliamentarians brace for stormy opposition protests. The BJP has accused Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of being part of a plan to “derail” the economy and “disrupt” the democracy as the parliament plunged into chaos again last afternoon.
Foreign Minister S Jaishankar clarified India’s position on the Israel-Palestine conflict in the Rajya Sabha yesterday, stating that “we condemn terrorism, hostage-taking” but also that countries have the right to respond but should be mindful of civilian casualties.
The Winter Session began on November 25 and will continue till December 20.
