Parliament witnessed another stormy day during the Monsoon Session as the alleged Ram Temple donation issue triggered heated exchanges in the Rajya Sabha. Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge questioned the government over the alleged donation theft issue and asked where investigative agencies such as the ED, CBI and Income Tax Department were. His remarks sparked loud protests from NDA MPs, forcing a brief adjournment of the House. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju hit back, demanding an apology from the Opposition and accusing it of disrupting Parliament instead of participating in debates on key legislation.

Rajya Sabha erupted in chaos during the debate on the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, after Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge referred to the Manusmriti while criticizing the government's education policies. Leader of the House JP Nadda strongly objected, demanding that Kharge authenticate his remarks and warning that such statements could disrupt social harmony. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi also countered Kharge's arguments with historical references and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's writings. The heated exchange led to uproar in the Upper House before the Chair ordered the disputed remarks to be expunged from the official records.
