Lok Sabha pushes through births and deaths amendment amid heated opposition protests
The Lok Sabha approved the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026 without debate, while opposition members shouted slogans over paper leaks, police action and Ram temple disputes.
The lower house passed the amendment bill without a formal discussion, with BJP MP Dilip Saikia presiding even though the agenda listed Home Minister Amit Shah as the mover, and he was absent. Opposition legislators erupted in chants about recent document leaks, a police crackdown on demonstrators and the contested Ram temple issue. At the same time, the Rajya Sabha failed to conduct any business, underscoring rising parliamentary tension.
Why it matters
The passage shows the government's ability to push legislation despite opposition unrest, reflecting parliamentary dynamics in India.
