New Delhi, Aug. 3, 2026 [VoM News]: Parliament is set to resume proceedings on Monday as the Monsoon Session enters its third week, with the Centre expected to introduce several pending Bills while the Opposition prepares to raise a range of contentious issues.

The session has witnessed repeated disruptions over the past two weeks, with Opposition parties protesting over the alleged examination paper leaks, police action against student protesters at Jantar Mantar, and the alleged misappropriation of donations to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple.

In the Lok Sabha, Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh is scheduled to introduce The Indian Statistical Institute Bill 2026, while Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to move The Bankers’ Books Evidence Bill 2026 for consideration and passage.
