Rajya Sabha chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar briefly exited the House following an uproar from opposition members over the disqualification of wrestler Vinesh Phogat from the Paris Olympics. The opposition demanded a discussion on the issue, but Dhankhar refused, calling their behavior "unprecedented" and "indigestible." He expressed concern over the tarnishing of the Speaker's dignity and criticized the politicization of Phogat's situation. Despite his efforts to pacify the opposition by acknowledging the nation's shared pain, the INDIA bloc parties staged a walkout in protest.
