Political Showdown: Parliament, Oppositions, and Policy Reforms

The latest political updates involve Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing the opposition of using Parliament for drama, the passing of the Manipur GST Bill amidst controversy, calls for a global framework against biological weapons misuse, and other notable developments like flood assessments and electoral reforms.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the opposition on Monday, asserting that Parliament is a place for policy delivery, not drama. The opposition was accused of using the House as a stage for electoral antics after defeats.

Amidst resistance from opposition parties, the Lok Sabha successfully passed the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Second Amendment) Bill, aiming at furthering GST 2.0 reforms in the northeast.

In other developments, India's foreign minister called for a global mechanism to prevent the misuse of biological weapons. Meanwhile, the government assured that recent Punjab floods were not exacerbated by poor dam management but instead by unusually high rainfall.
