The Parliament winter session LIVE updates entered a heated phase on Monday as both Houses saw sharp exchanges, major bills, and intense political reactions. The day began with Prime Minister Narendra Modi opening a special Lok Sabha debate on the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram. His comments triggered a strong response from the opposition and set the tone for a dramatic week in Parliament.
Parliament Winter Session LIVE: PM Opens Vande Mataram Debate
PM Modi launched the debate by highlighting the role of Vande Mataram in India’s freedom struggle. He said the national song united citizens during British rule and inspired countless freedom fighters. He also criticised the Congress for removing certain lines from the song in 1937, calling the decision a mistake that “weakened national unity.”
The comments sparked an immediate pushback. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh replied that the Congress Working Committee took the 1937 decision collectively. He said leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Patel, Netaji Bose, Rajendra Prasad, and Maulana Azad were all part of the committee. He accused the PM of attacking the legacy of national icons.
The debate will continue in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, where Union Home Minister Amit Shah will lead the discussion.

The Rajya Sabha also discussed the mass IndiGo flight cancellations that affected thousands of passengers. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said the airline did not raise any operational concerns earlier. He blamed IndiGo’s internal planning for the disruption and said the ministry seeks a full report.
Several Union ministers from key departments—Culture, Education, Finance, Labour, Environment, and Corporate Affairs—placed official documents on the table. These updates add momentum as the session moves into its second week.
Political Tension Rises as Historic Debate Continues
The Parliament winter session LIVE discussions continue to reflect the political divide ahead of upcoming elections.
