SAD to protest in both Houses against agricultural bills
Two days after he addressed the Lok Sabha on the issue of Chinese aggression across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, defence minister Rajnath Singh will on Thursday speak in the Rajya Sabha on the issue.
Besides this, discussions will also take place in the Upper House on National Education Policy (NEP), the Goods and Services Tax (GST), economy and environment.
Both houses of Parliament were adjourned in March due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and have resumed with strict protocols in place. However, already two dozen MPs have tested positive for the virus. On Wednesday, transport minister Nitin Gadkari announced that he, too, has tested positive. He had attended the session on Monday and was seated in the front row for a brief moment.

Defence minister Rajnath Singh says in RS: Conduct of our armed forces shows that while they maintained 'sayyam' in face of provocative actions, they also equally displayed 'shaurya' when required to protect territorial integrity of India.
