The MPs of opposition parties held a sit-in protest against PM Narendra Modi-led government over the Manipur issue throughout Monday night and are continuing the same at the Parliament premises. Both Houses witnessed massive chaos and repeated adjournments as the opposition remained firm on its demand for a discussion over the Manipur viral video and sought PM Modi's statement on it inside the Parliament. AAP MP Sanjay Singh was on Monday suspended from the Rajya Sabha for 'obstructing' proceedings of the House that intensified opposition leaders' anger.

The agitation continued throughout the night and on Tuesday morning hinting towards another stormy day in Parliament as Manipur remains the bone of contention. After the agitation, the opposition alliance - Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) will meet at the office of Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge in Parliament on Tuesday to chalk out the strategy for the floor of the House.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh said on Tuesday, "We are sitting here since yesterday. Our only demand is that PM Modi should speak on the Manipur issue. We will keep protesting here and I am still requesting PM Modi to come to the Parliament and talk on Manipur."

Meanwhile, the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting will also be held on Tuesday at 9.30 am to chalk out the strategy for the Monsoon Session of the Lok Sabha.

On Monday, both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned as the opposition shouted 'Modi Sarkar Shame Shame', 'PM Modi Jawab Do', 'Manipur Wants Justice' slogans. Notably, the first two days of the monsoon session last week saw a similar ruckus leading to nearly zero functioning of Parliament.
