On Thursday, the Lok Sabha witnessed a tumultuous session as opposition parties vocally protested against remarks made by Home Minister Amit Shah concerning B R Ambedkar. The uproar led to repeated adjournments of the House.
The session barely lasted five minutes amid the chaos. Opposition parties demanded Shah's apology, escalating tensions with the ruling government. A confrontation outside Parliament left several MPs injured, intensifying the political fallout.
