The Lok Sabha has passed two more Bills, including one to rename Kerala as ‘Keralam’. The Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill 2026, was passed in Lok Sabha, with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju expressing sadness that senior leaders from Kerala did not speak on the opportunity. The National Co-operative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, was also passed in Lok Sabha.
In the Rajya Sabha, AAP MP Sanjay Singh opposed the Tribunals Reforms Bill, raising concerns over the representation of Dalit and Adivasi communities in High Courts. He alleged corruption in the National Company Law Tribunals (NCLTs), claiming that waivers are being granted to large corporates and businessmen. Swati Maliwal, on the other hand, backed the Tribunals Reforms Bill, saying it is about citizens’ wait for justice.
The proceedings in both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha resumed amid slogans by the members. The Opposition continued to raise slogans in the Lower House, with Ramdas Athawale urging the members of Opposition to stop disrupting the proceedings of the House. The Lok Sabha was adjourned till August 12 amid Opposition protests.
Earlier in the day, Congress MP Pawan Khera said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should apologize, and Home Minister Amit Shah should make a statement on the theft of donations and the atrocities committed against students. BJP MP Shashank Mani Tripathi said that there has not been a bigger tragedy than this Monsoon session getting washed out, and at least let the Zero Hour and Question Hour function.
The NDA MPs marched towards Parliament, targeting the Opposition over avoiding debate on student protests. National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MPs carried placards stating that while Amit Shah is ready for a discussion on student protests, the Opposition is running away from it in Parliament.
Congress MP Manickam Tagore moved an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha, demanding Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on alleged police action against students during a protest held at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on July 20, 2026. Opposition party MPs held a protest at Makar Dwar over Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement and the ongoing row concerning donations for the Ram Temple.
