Parliament Monsoon Session 2026 Live Updates: Opposition MPs Protest In Parliament Demanding Dharmendra Pradhan's Resignation
Opposition MPs staged protests during the 2026 Parliament Monsoon Session seeking the immediate resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The political demonstration coincided with the conclusion of activist Sonam Wangchuk’s nearly month-long hunger strike.
Opposition members caused disruptions in both houses of Parliament on Friday as the Monsoon Session progressed. The legislators gathered to demand that Dharmendra Pradhan step down from his ministerial post, leading to several adjournments in the early hours of the proceedings.
Outside the legislative chambers, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) confirmed that their ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar would remain active until their demands are met. The party leadership stated that they would not scale back their demonstrations despite the heavy police presence in the capital region.
In a related development, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk officially ended his 26-day hunger strike on the same day. While Wangchuk has transitioned away from his fast, the political climate remains tense as the opposition vows to continue stalling parliamentary business over the leadership controversy.
