Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to reply to the motion of thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha today at 5 pm, a day after eight opposition MPs were suspended amid repeated disruptions in the House, top government sources said.

The Opposition disrupted proceedings in the Lok Sabha for the last two days during the discussion on the President’s Address, preventing the debate from taking place. Despite the push from Congress, the schedule for the Prime Minister’s reply remains unchanged.

After the House was adjourned on Tuesday, senior ministers, including Rajnath Singh, Kiren Rijiju, Pralhad Joshi, Dharmendra Pradhan and Arjun Meghwal, held a prolonged meeting with Speaker Om Birla to ensure that the Prime Minister delivers his reply as planned on Wednesday evening.

The government has also urged the Speaker to engage with other opposition parties, some of whom are said to be unhappy with the Congress “holding the House to ransom".

The developments follow a sharp escalation in the government-opposition faceoff on Tuesday, when eight MPs, seven from the Congress and one from the CPI(M), were suspended for the remainder of the Budget session for what the Chair described as “unruly behaviour".

The suspensions came after Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was disallowed for the second consecutive day from quoting an article citing an unpublished “memoir" of former Army chief M M Naravane on the 2020 India-China clash.
