Swearing in and protests: 18th Lok Sabha gets off to a combative start. The swearing in of the 18th Lok Sabha was marked by confrontations with the Opposition on a range of issues. PM Modi declares Emergency.

More than 260 MPs from all parties took oath of office at the opening ceremony of the 18th Lok Sabha on Monday, but the first day of Parliament after the general elections was marked by confrontations between the government and the powerful Opposition on a range of issues. From Emergency to the Constitution and even malpractices to rock the Prime Minister's exams was enough.

Taking oath as the MP from Varanasi for the third consecutive term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered the first salvo in his address to Parliament, declaring Emergency attacking the Opposition.

The Prime Minister said June 25, the anniversary of the declaration of Emergency, should be a reminder of how democracy was thwarted and the Constitution insulted. "We should ensure that this never happens again," the prime minister said.

Without naming the Congress party, he said, "A new generation of Indians has been completely negated, every part of the Constitution has been torn apart, the country has been turned into a prison and democracy has been fully established. 4,444 Hours after the Constitution was completely negated, every part of it has been torn apart, the country has been turned into a prison and democracy fully established, opposition lawmakers, emboldened by their better-than-expected performance in the Lok Sabha elections, held up copies of the Constitution while Modi took the oath of office and chanted "NEET" as embattled Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan took the oath of office from the podium.

"The attack on the Constitution by the Prime Minister and Amit Shah is unacceptable to us and we will not tolerate it. That is why we held the Constitution in our hands while taking oath...Our message is getting across, no power can touch the Constitution of India," Congress leader Rahul Gandhi told reporters.


Following the two-day swearing-in ceremony, a Speaker of the National Assembly will be elected on June 26, and President Dhruv Murmu will address a joint sitting of both Houses on June 27. For the first time in a decade, an Opposition Leader will also be elected to the National Assembly. The session will end on July 3 and resume on July 22 for the monsoon session.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7.
