Speaker Om Birla Halts Lok Sabha Proceedings, No Traditional Closing Speech

During Thursday's proceedings, Speaker Om Birla announced an indefinite suspension of the Lok Sabha, breaking from protocol by not delivering the customary final speech that outlines the session’s achievements and legislative productivity. The abrupt halt came after a day of intense protests over the alleged leak of the NEET exam paper and the ongoing dispute surrounding the Ram Temple construction, both of which dominated the political discourse throughout the session.
