Parliament Monsoon Session 2026 LIVE Updates: The parliament's monsoon session began today, with the Centre aiming to bring key bills, including the one that makes insulting the national song 'Vande Mataram' a criminal offence.
The session, which will comprise 19 sittings over 25 days, witnessed the Opposition parties demanding the government to allow substantive discussions on a range of issues, including alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.
The Centre is also expected to reintroduce the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill that proposes increasing Lok Sabha seats to 850 and implementing a 33 per cent women's reservation. It was previously defeated in April.
The session began amid the supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) trying to march to Parliament to protest against alleged irregularities in NEET -- the national entrance test for medical colleges -- and to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Parliament Monsoon Session Live: PM Modi's Dig At '56-Year-Old Youth' Rahul Gandhi Ahead Of Monsoon Session
While praising Skyroot for the successful launch of India's first private orbital-class rocket, Vikram-1, PM Narendra Modi took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. PM highlighted that the average age of team members at Skyroot Aerospace, a private space company which scripted history with Vikram-1, India's first private rocket to reach orbit over the weekend, is 28 years. He then made it clear that he is not talking about some "56-year-old youth", an indirect reference to Rahul Gandhi, who is referred to as a youth leader.
"...India's youth have embarked on a new journey into space. I was told that the average age of the entire team working at the 'Skyroot' startup is merely 28 years. Young people like these have accomplished this feat. I am not speaking of a 56-year-old youth," he said.
