Parliament returned to its normal legislative business on Tuesday after six days of disruptions over issues, including Adani's indictment in the US and violence in Manipur and Sambhal, in the ongoing Winter Session.

Though INDIA bloc lawmakers submitted notices for immediate discussion on several issues in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, they did not disrupt the proceedings.

Since the commencement of the session on November 25, both Houses have seen repeated adjournments over the Opposition's demand for discussion on contentious issues. The Constitution Day or 'Samvidhan Divas' on November 26 was observed as a day to mark the adoption of the Constitution of India. President Droupadi Murmu addressed members of both Houses in the Central Hall to mark the occasion.

Though Opposition members submitted notices for immediate discussion on their respective issues, they did not press them, nor did they disrupt the proceedings after the government agreed to a two-day discussion on the Constitution in the wake of the 75th anniversary of its adoption.
