Lok Sabha witnessed noisy protests by Opposition parties demanding a discussion on the recent stampede at Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj and a list of those deceased. Led by Gaurav Gogoi, Deputy leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, and Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal, Opposition members also sought suspension of Question Hour to discuss the stampede. Opposition members were raising slogans such as “ Sanatan virodhi sarkar istifa do (step down anti-sanatan government). Speaker Om Birla warned members against thumping tables as a mark of protest, saying people send their representatives to ask questions, not damaging tables. The Question Hour in Lok Sabha came to a conclusion as the ruckus in Parliament died down.
