Bills to be introduced: Both Houses in the Parliament were adjourned as the Opposition demanded presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The Lok Sabha is scheduled to take up the introduction of several key bills today. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to introduce the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026, which seeks to change the name of Kerala. He will also move to introduce the National Co-operative Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, to amend the National Co-operative Development Corporation Act, 1962. Shah is facing the Opposition ire for his “absence” from the floor this Monsoon Session as they demand his accountability for the police excesses on student protesters during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led ‘Sansad Chalo’ march on July 20.
Notice submitted to discuss new Anti-Defection Law: Congress MP Manish Tewari has submitted a notice for an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha to discuss the need for a new Anti-Defection Law. Tewari sought suspension of Question Hour, Zero Hour, and other listed business to discuss the framework of the new law aimed at preventing mass political defections. The existing anti-defection law, under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, was introduced through the 52nd Constitutional Amendment Act in 1985.

Fate of three key bills unclear: With only three days left in the Monsoon Session, the fate of key bills on women’s reservation, delimitation and amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) remains uncertain amid the continuing deadlock in Parliament. None of the three bills featured in the Lok Sabha’s list of business for Monday. The Opposition is also opposed to the FCRA Amendment Bill, leaving the fate of the three proposed measures unclear with the session nearing its end.
