The government on Tuesday (January 27, 2026) rejected the Opposition’s demands for renewed discussions on the VB-G RAM G Act and the SIR exercise during the Budget session of Parliament, with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju saying the two issues had already been debated by both Houses and “we cannot reverse the gear”.

Mr. Rijiju made these remarks after an all-party meeting chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh that was attended by as many as 51 leaders, including ministers, from 39 political parties on the eve of the session.– PTI
