The Opposition created a ruckus in both Houses on Monday on the issue of delimitation, the three-language policy, and the alleged manipulation of electoral rolls as Parliament reconvened for the remaining part of the Budget Session after a recess of almost three weeks.

The first part of the Budget session drew to a close on 13 February.

The Tamil Nadu language war echoed in Parliament with disruptions over the alleged 'Hindi' language imposition. Opposition members staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha over the issue of delimitation and the New Education Policy (NEP).

In the Lok Sabha, the DMK protested the implementation of the NEP in Tamil Nadu. Their members walked into the well and protested on the issue. Amid DMK's opposition to the New Education Policy (NEP), Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan launched a scathing attack on the ruling party in Tamil Nadu and accused it of ruining the future of students.
