The Lok Sabha, India’s lower house of Parliament, paid heartfelt tribute to Dharmendra, the legendary Bollywood actor and former parliamentarian, describing him as an evergreen icon who brought pride to the nation both on screen and in public service.
This tribute took place at the start of the Winter Session, which was marked by fierce opposition protests leading to an early adjournment.
Members also congratulated Indian athletes for their remarkable global achievements.
Speaker Om Birla appealed for decorum, urging members to raise public issues through discussion rather than disruption.
Despite the plea, protests continued, forcing the Speaker to adjourn the session till noon. This turbulent beginning casts uncertainty over the productivity of the important legislative agenda ahead.
