The 6th monsoon session of Rajasthan's 16th Legislative Assembly began at 11 a.m. on Thursday but was adjourned after just 21 minutes as legislators clashed over school admission issues.
The 16th Rajasthan Legislative Assembly convened its sixth monsoon session on Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Vidhan Bhavan, Jaipur. The meeting was scheduled to discuss a range of issues, including the pending school admission controversy that has been affecting several districts.
The session was abruptly cut short, lasting only 21 minutes. Lawmakers from opposition parties raised their voices against the state government's handling of school enrollment, leading to a heated exchange that forced the Speaker to adjourn the house.
During the brief sitting, members also observed a moment of silence to honour seven former representatives who had recently passed away, as announced in the agenda.
Political analysts noted that the short duration underscores the intensity of the admission dispute and may delay legislative business slated for the monsoon session.
