Congress leaders Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Manish Tewari alleged that democracy was being “murdered” with the Centre pushing ahead with its legislative agenda in such a manner when the House was not in order. Tewari said the introduction of bills amid protest is a violation of the Constitution. Chowdhury called the government “arrogant and vindictive,”

When the third bill, The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Seventh Amendment) Bill, 2021 to restore the states’ right to list OBCs, was to be introduced, opposition members vacated the Well of the House and went back to their seats. Earlier in the day, several Opposition parties had decided to support the passage of this bill.
