In a session marked by prominent political figures and elevated tensions, the Lok Sabha took the spotlight as Rahul Gandhi, Hema Malini, and others were sworn in. The session saw a mix of 'jai samvidhan' and 'jai Bheem' slogans, reflecting varied ideological stances amidst the oath-taking ceremony.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a pointed dig at the Congress, asserting that those responsible for imposing Emergency had no right to profess love for the Constitution. Senior BJP leaders echoed this sentiment, with two Chief Ministers demanding an apology from the Congress party.
Simultaneously, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faced a legal setback as the Delhi High Court stayed his bail in a money laundering case. Contentions also arose in Maharashtra with Sharad Pawar commenting on the integration of rival leaders into NCP. Meanwhile, issues of governance and public safety surfaced with a senior IPS officer's suspension and strong reactions over a car crash involving a minor.
