Opposition women MPs surround PM Modi’s seat during Lok Sabha chaos

The Lok Sabha witnessed major disruption on Wednesday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled speech was postponed amid loud protests and confrontations between the ruling party and the Opposition. The chaos unfolded during the ongoing Budget session, forcing the House to be adjourned just minutes before the Prime Minister was expected to reply to the motion of thanks on the President’s address.

What began as routine sloganeering soon turned into a serious faceoff near the treasury benches. Senior BJP leaders later alleged that the situation had gone out of control, raising concerns about order and security inside the House. The Opposition, however, rejected these claims and accused the government of avoiding debate.

What happened inside the House

According to BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, several Opposition women MPs entered the well of the House and moved towards the Prime Minister’s chair. He alleged that they ignored repeated requests by senior ministers to return to their seats. Tiwari claimed that the situation became so tense that Prime Minister Modi was unable to enter the House.

Tiwari said the MPs climbed close to the area where the Prime Minister sits and created a loud and chaotic scene. He described their actions as aggressive and claimed that their body language raised serious security concerns. In strong remarks, he alleged that the Prime Minister could even have been attacked if the situation had worsened.

He also questioned the Opposition’s intent, saying they had deliberately sent women MPs forward to block the Prime Minister’s chair. He linked the protest to recent election losses suffered by Opposition parties and accused them of acting out of frustration rather than following parliamentary rules.

During the protest, several Opposition MPs were seen holding a large banner with the words “Jo uchit lage vo karo.” MPs from parties such as the Trinamool Congress and the Samajwadi Party joined the sloganeering, adding to the noise and tension. At that time, Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh were not present in the House.

As the protests continued, the Speaker announced that the Lok Sabha was being adjourned till 11 am the next day. However, even after the adjournment was declared, the commotion did not stop. Sources said Opposition MPs continued to move towards the treasury benches, coming close to the Prime Minister’s chair.

Sharp reactions from BJP and Opposition

The confrontation intensified when a group of Opposition women MPs moved towards BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, leading to heated verbal exchanges. MPs such as Joytimani and Varsha Gaikwad were seen advancing towards him. In response, BJP women MPs also moved forward, resulting in a brief faceoff between members from both sides.

Despite repeated announcements from the Chair, order could not be restored immediately. The continued shouting and movement across the floor made it impossible for proceedings to continue in a normal manner. Parliamentary sources said the situation remained tense even after the House was formally adjourned.

The BJP later accused the Opposition of deliberately creating chaos to stop the Prime Minister from speaking. Party leaders said such behaviour lowered the dignity of Parliament and set a dangerous precedent. They argued that disagreements should be raised through debate, not through physical proximity to sensitive areas of the House.

The Opposition strongly denied these allegations. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accused the ruling party of twisting facts and shifting blame. She said the Prime Minister chose not to come to the House because of the protest and not because of any security concern. In sharp remarks, she claimed that the Prime Minister was “scared” and therefore stayed away.

Priyanka Gandhi also targeted Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey. She alleged that they left the scene quickly and compared their exit to a “bullet train,” mocking them for what she described as avoiding the confrontation.

Opposition leaders said their protest was aimed at forcing the government to address key issues and allow proper discussion. They accused the Centre of using adjournments to escape accountability and silence dissenting voices in Parliament. According to them, the government was more interested in controlling the narrative than engaging with criticism.

The incident once again highlighted the growing tension between the Centre and the Opposition during the Budget session. Frequent disruptions, walkouts, and adjournments have marked the session so far, limiting the amount of legislative work completed.

Political observers say such scenes reflect a deeper trust deficit between the two sides. While the ruling party accuses the Opposition of deliberate obstruction, Opposition parties argue that they are left with no choice because their concerns are ignored.

As Parliament prepares to resume, it remains to be seen whether both sides will agree to restore order and allow debate to continue. For now, the chaos in the Lok Sabha has once again drawn attention to the challenges facing parliamentary functioning and the need for dialogue over confrontation.
