The Monsoon Session of Parliament has effectively ended in a washout, with the government and Opposition locked in a bitter standoff that prevented meaningful debate. No discussion took place on the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026, which was sent to a joint committee, or on police action against student protesters. BJP chief Nitin Nabin accused the Congress of fleeing from discussions and tearing parliamentary decorum. The Opposition, led by Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, countered that the government was silent on alleged police excesses, including use of pellet guns during the July 20 student protest march.
