New Delhi, India – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament (MP) Anurag Thakur will initiate the discussion on the Motion of Thanks for President Droupadi Murmu’s address in the Lok Sabha on Monday. First-time MP Bansuri Swaraj will second the motion.

The discussion in the Rajya Sabha was started by BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on June 28. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju will move motions on elections to committees in Lok Sabha.

Union Ministers Jitendra Singh, Kirtivardhan Singh, and L Murugan will lay papers on the table in Rajya Sabha, while Arjun Ram Meghwal, Pankaj Chaudhary, Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, Sukanta Majumdar, and Raj Bhushan Choudhary will do the same in Lok Sabha on Monday.

Both houses of Parliament experienced disruptions on Friday due to the ongoing controversy over the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). No business was conducted in Lok Sabha as the opposition demanded a discussion on alleged irregularities in NEET. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, entered the well of the House, drawing criticism from ruling MPs and the chairman. The opposition is expected to raise NEET concerns again today in both houses of Parliament.
