Parliament was disrupted once again as Opposition MPs led by Rahul Gandhi staged a protest against the controversial Supreme Court ruling on USSL retirees. The ruling has been controversial as it resulted in the retirement age of judges being reduced from 70 to 65. The ruling has been met with fierce opposition from the judiciary and the political spectrum alike, with many criticising it for being arbitrary and unfair.

The opposition has especially criticised the Supreme Court's decision to hear the matter, despite an already full schedule. The matter was deemed urgent, causing the Supreme Court to rush through the hearing in just 2 days.

The ruling has also been criticised for undermining the independence of the judiciary. Many argue that the decision to hear the matter urgently and rush through such a significant decision has implications for the independence and impartiality of India's judiciary.

The matter is currently under review and the Supreme Court's ruling is what the Opposition is fighting for, in the interests of USSL retirees and the Indian judiciary's integrity.
