New Business Law Passes in Parliament
The Lok Sabha passed a new business bill while members argued in Parliament. Lawmakers fought over when government ministers should attend meetings.
What happened in Parliament
The lower house of India's Parliament, called the Lok Sabha, successfully passed a new law. This law is called the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Amendment Bill, 2026. It aims to help small businesses grow and run better across the country.
Why lawmakers argued
While the bill was passed, both houses of Parliament faced loud protests. Opposition political parties were upset with Home Minister Amit Shah. They wanted him to be present during specific discussions. Government leaders responded by saying the opposition cannot control when ministers do their work.
- The Lok Sabha passed a new small business bill.
- Opposition members protested against a government minister.
- Both houses of Parliament closed early for the day due to arguments.
What happens next
After being approved in the Lok Sabha, the bill will move to the next stage of the lawmaking process. Political leaders will likely continue to debate government rules and minister attendance when Parliament meets again.
