NEW DELHI — Following a high-octane debate on the Anti-Paper Leak (Amendment) Bill that stretched until midnight on Tuesday, the Monsoon Session of Parliament resumes today with all eyes on Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, who is scheduled to address the House.

The upper and lower houses are set to handle key legislative business, even as opposition parties push for adjournment motions to raise pressing issues ranging from anti-defection laws to audit demands for high-profile religious trusts.

Rahul Gandhi to Lead Debate on Anti-Paper Leak Bill

The Lok Sabha will resume its discussion on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi is expected to take the floor during the afternoon session to present his party’s position on systemic examination leaks, oversight, and candidate protections.

Amit Shah & Union Ministers to Introduce Key Legislation

According to the day's legislative agenda in the Lok Sabha:

  • Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to introduce the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026.

  • Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal will move the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, seeking consideration and passage.

Concurrently, the Rajya Sabha is slated to take up the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026.

Opposition Pushes Notices on Defection Laws, Trust Audits, & Water Disputes

Opposition leaders across both Houses have submitted notices to suspend regular business to address critical national matters:

  1. Anti-Defection Law Reforms: Congress MP Manish Tewari submitted an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha, calling for a total overhaul of the current Anti-Defection Law to curb political opportunism and mass floor-crossing.

  2. Ram Mandir Trust Audit: In the Rajya Sabha, Congress Whip Nasir Hussain moved an adjournment notice demanding an independent governmental audit into the accounts and operations of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

  3. Cauvery Water Dispute: Rajya Sabha MP Praveen Chakravarthy moved a motion under Rule 267, seeking an immediate discussion over what he described as a misleading response provided by the Ministry of Jal Shakti concerning inter-state water allocations.

With key legislation lined up and multiple opposition notices pending, parliamentary proceedings are expected to remain contentious throughout the day.
