The Winter Session of Parliament concluded today, marking four weeks of intense drama, protests, and allegations, including charges of "attempt to murder" against the Opposition.

Congress MPs, led by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, protested in the Parliament complex over Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on BR Ambedkar, which they deemed “insulting.” Simultaneously, BJP MPs held a counter-protest, accusing the Opposition of disrespecting Ambedkar. Earlier, the Lok Sabha sent two bills on "One Nation, One Election" to a Joint Parliamentary Committee of 39 MPs before adjourning sine die.

Frequent disruptions characterized the session. A case was filed against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi after two BJP MPs were injured during a protest at Parliament's Makar Dwar. Congress countered with a police complaint, alleging their chief, Mallikarjun Kharge, was manhandled. Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal called the case against Gandhi a "badge of honour" for defending Ambedkar's legacy.

The unrest stemmed from Amit Shah's comment in the Rajya Sabha, where he said, "It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar repeatedly... If they took God’s name that much, they’d secure heaven.” The remark triggered backlash, with Opposition leaders filing a privilege motion and demanding Shah’s resignation. Shah accused rivals of distorting his words, while PM Modi condemned the Congress for spreading “malicious lies.”

Amid the uproar, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla banned protests near Parliament gates, emphasizing the need for order. The Congress struggled to rally allies like the Trinamool Congress and Samajwadi Party, which distanced themselves over the Adani row and BJP’s claims linking the Congress to George Soros.

This session underscored deepening rifts between the Treasury and Opposition benches, with contentious debates overshadowing legislative progress.
