Both Houses of the Parliament will continue with the motion of thanks on President’s address on Tuesday (February 3, 2026). A major political row erupted on Monday (February 2, 2026) as Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi sought to quote in the Lok Sabha from an unpublished “memoir” of former Army chief M.M. Naravane on the 2020 India-China conflict to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, evoking a backlash from BJP leaders who accused him of misleading the House and belittling the armed forces.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla disallowed Gandhi from raising the issue, but he did not relent and several opposition leaders also rallied behind him. The House was adjourned twice and later for the day amid uproar as heated exchanges took place between the treasury and opposition benches.
Meanwhile, members from Opposition parties in the Rajya Sabha on Monday (February 2, 2026) accused the government of fomenting communal division amid rising economic disparities, saying the Centre needs a reality check on its claim of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’.
