LIVE Updates: Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha Proceedings To Resume At 11 AM

The proceedings in both houses of Parliament will resume today at 11 am. On the third day of the ongoing winter session, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are likely to be rocked by the remarks of DMK MP DNV Senthil Kumar, who on Tuesday sparked controversy by describing the Hindi heartland as "gaumutra states".

Participating in a discussion on the J&K Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill in the House, Mr Kumar said that the BJP can win elections only in the Hindi heartland states and not in south India. His description of the Hindi heartland as "gaumutra" states was expunged by the Lok Sabha Speaker later, but the remarks triggered a row with several members across party lines condemning the DMK leader.

Facing flak, he later apologised.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Lok Sabha debated the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2023. The Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023, was introduced in Lok Sabha on July 26, 2023, and amends the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act of 2004.
