Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla urged Opposition members on Friday to stop protests over the NEET paper leak and alleged theft of Ram temple donations, and allow Question Hour to proceed. He cited Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar while asking MPs to follow parliamentary decorum and use discussion and dialogue to strengthen democracy. The House was nevertheless adjourned until noon. The revised business list schedules consideration of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and the Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The Kashmiri Pandits (Recourse, Restitution, Rehabilitation and Resettlement) Bill, 2025, is also listed. Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi is to move the MSME Bill, already passed by the Rajya Sabha.
