Parliament Budget Session: BJP slams Opposition walkout during Jaishankar’s statement on West Asia war
J.P. Nadda, S. Jaishankar, and Mallikarjun Kharge were involved in a heated exchange during the Rajya Sabha session on March 9, 2026. Kharge requested permission to speak about the escalating West Asia conflict's impact on India's economy and security, but was denied by the Chair. The Congress and other Opposition parties then staged a walkout as Jaishankar delivered his statement, with Nadda accusing them of wanting anarchy. The situation mirrored similar scenes in the Lok Sabha where Kiren Rijiju, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, accused the Opposition of disrupting proceedings.
