Following a stormy opening on Monday marked by disruptions in both Houses, the second day of the Monsoon Session will start at 11 am today.AdvertisementOpposition parties stalled proceedings, demanding a discussion on the recent Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, leading to adjournments.Despite the chaos, the Rajya Sabha managed to pass the Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, aimed at modernising laws related to shipping documents.The bill was cleared by the Lok Sabha earlier in March.In a major development, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned late on Monday evening, citing health reasons. Dhankhar, who chaired the Rajya Sabha on Day 1, addressed the House on the impeachment proceedings involving a High Court judge.Dhankhar may not attend Rajya Sabha today and is unlikely to deliver a farewell speech, say media reports.The session, running from July 21 to August 21, includes 21 sittings over 32 days. Both Houses will take a break from August 12–17 for Independence Day celebrations and resume on August 18.I met him at 5:30 pm, and Dhankhar was in a good mood: Congress MPJuly 22, 2025 10:40 amhttps://twitter.com/hashtag/WATCH?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#WATCH | Delhi: On VP Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation, Congress Rajya Sabha MP, Akhilesh Prasad Singh says, “… I met him at 5:30 pm, and he was in a good mood.
