Tue Mar 11 02:56:51 UTC 2025: ## Parliament Disrupted by Language Row as Budget Session Resumes
**New Delhi, March 11, 2025** – The second leg of India’s Parliament Budget Session commenced on Monday amidst significant disruptions sparked by allegations of Hindi language imposition. Tensions escalated in the Lok Sabha following protests by DMK members over Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s criticism of the Tamil Nadu government’s handling of the PM SHRI school scheme.
The Congress party, meanwhile, has strategized its approach for the remainder of the session. Sources indicate the party plans to strongly oppose the National Education Policy 2020 and raise concerns about alleged voter list manipulation. Further, the Congress will oppose the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the ongoing delimitation exercise if brought before Parliament. The party’s senior leaders met to solidify this strategy. Rahul Gandhi has also called for a discussion on voter lists in the Lok Sabha.
