The Lok Sabha passes the Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026 amid protests by Opposition members, multiple reports state. The measure is approved by a voice vote as Opposition MPs raise slogans and enter the Well of the House, demanding the presence of Home Minister Amit Shah and raising concerns related to an alleged police crackdown. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju says the Opposition does not participate in the debate, adding that the government wants discussion on an “important Bill.” Reports also describe disruptions during the session, including sloganeering by Opposition members and efforts to draw attention to their demands. The incidents occur while the House considers and secures passage of the bill, with officials and MPs taking positions that reflect wider political tensions in Parliament. Rijiju’s remarks focus on the refusal of Opposition participation in the debate, while the Opposition’s actions emphasize the demand for the Home Minister’s presence and their protest against events outside the House. The articles collectively describe a contested parliamentary process surrounding the bill’s approval rather than changes in the bill’s specific provisions.
