Opposition Walks Out as PM Modi Speaks, But Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi Stays

• Opposition MPs, led by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, walked out of Rajya Sabha during PM Modi's address on the President's motion of thanks.
• Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi remained in the House and listened to PM Modi's speech.
• Before the walkout, PM Modi took a jibe at Kharge, suggesting he could chant slogans while seated due to his age.
• DMK MP Tiruchi Siva stated the walkout was due to the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi not being allowed to speak on certain issues.
• Opposition MPs, including Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad, alleged discrimination by the Speaker, citing microphones being switched off for opposition leaders while ruling party members speak freely.
