The monsoon session of the parliament kicked off with a stormy start, as opposition parties continued to protest against the Bihar Special Inquiry Court's decision to acquit 32 people in the 2018 lynching of Shahzad Ahmed in Bhagalpur. For the third consecutive day, proceedings in both Houses were disrupted, with several MPs shouting slogans and walking out of the premises.

Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi stated that the "monsoon of scams is here," as he questioned the government's failure to address the issues of agitating farmers and the public outcry following the recent tragic deaths of patients at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Patna.

In a surprising turn of events, Speaker Om Birla announced the formation of a three-member committee to look into the allegations faced by Justice Varma regarding the judicial scandal that has shaken the nation. The announcement came after heated arguments between the ruling party and the opposition regarding the Bihar SIRExpedition.

The inquiry panel will be led by retired Supreme Court judge Arijit Pasayat and include former High Court judge Sudhir Sacchidanand Mishra and retired IAS officer Namrata Singh.

The trio is expected to investigate the allegations against Justice Varma and submit a report to the speaker within three months.

With the opposition maintaining its demand for the removal of Ashwini Viynaskar from his position as Deputy Chairman of the National Congress Committee (NCC), it is likely that the parliament will continue to face disruptions in the coming days.

The speaker concluded the session by reiterating the importance of respectful discussions and dialogue in the parliament, and hoped that the members would exercise restraint and cooperate with each other in the future.
