The record
Written from the 3 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- India's Parliament descended into chaos on July 27 as opposition MPs disrupted proceedings in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, forcing adjournments.
- The disruptions blocked consideration of the anti-paper leak bill, a key legislative priority aimed at curbing exam paper leaks across the country.
- Amid the protests, the Lok Sabha managed to pass the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Bill, 2026, without debate, increasing the sanctioned strength of judges from 33 to 37 excluding the Chief Justice. The opposition's grievances center on alleged police action against protesters at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and claims of embezzlement at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
- The government pushed through the judicial expansion bill despite the turmoil, signaling intent to advance its agenda.
- What remains unclear is how long the anti-paper leak bill will be delayed and whether the opposition's protests will escalate further in the coming sessions.
What to watch next
- Watch for rescheduling of anti-paper leak bill in next session
- Monitor opposition strategy on Jantar Mantar and Ram Temple issues
- Track Rajya Sabha clearance for Supreme Court judge expansion bill
