• Due to constant ruckus from the opposition regarding the Pegasus Software and three farm laws, both houses of the Parliament were adjourned multiple times.

An official notice read "This house takes cognisance and strongly condemns the utter disregard to the authority of the Chair, complete abuse of rules of the House persistently thereby wilfully obstructing the business of the House through their unprecedented acts of misconduct, contemptuous, unruly and violent behaviour and intentional attacks on security personnel on the last day of the 254th Session of Rajya Sabha i.e August 11."
