Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the House – his last speech in Parliament before the 2024 elections.

The Lok Sabha today discussed the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. BJP MP Satya Pal Singh initiated the discussion and said that Lord Ram belongs to everyone and not Hindus alone. He also said the construction of the temple was “historic”.

“I am fortunate to get the opportunity to speak about the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and the Pran Pratishtha of Lord Ram on January 22 inside the Parliament,” Mr Singh said in Lok Sabha.

In Rajya Sabha, the lawmakers discussed the “White Paper on the Indian Economy” and its impact on the lives of the people of the country.

The Budget session of Parliament, the last of the 17th Lok Sabha, started with the address by President Droupadi Murmu to the joint sitting of two Houses on January 31. It is scheduled to conclude today.

Here are the live updates on the Parliament’s Budget Session:
