Kerala: Mortal remains of a woman doctor arrive at her native home in Kottayam

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju criticised Opposition members for staging protests in the Lok Sabha while demanding a debate on the situation in West Asia. Rijiju said the Opposition was not adhering to the basic ethics and decorum expected inside the House. The remarks came after several Opposition MPs created an uproar and raised slogans seeking an immediate discussion on the escalating tensions in the region. The disruptions affected proceedings during the ongoing parliamentary session. The government has maintained that discussions can take place only as per established parliamentary procedures. The issue has triggered a fresh political confrontation in Parliament, with the Opposition insisting on a dedicated debate on the developments in West Asia.
