Opposition Walkout Sparks Tension in Rajya Sabha Over West Asia Conflict

Union Minister J P Nadda criticized the Opposition for engaging in disruptive tactics after a chaotic session in the Rajya Sabha. This followed the Opposition's walkout during External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's address on the West Asia conflict.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge argued for a comprehensive debate on the issue, emphasizing the economic and security implications for Indian workers in the region. He also sought a discussion on the implications for India's energy security amidst rising tensions in West Asia.

The walkout and tensions highlight the ongoing conflict between the government and Opposition, with Nadda labeling the Opposition's actions as 'irresponsible' and obstructive to parliamentary discourse.
