NEW DELHI: 17th Lok Sabha concluded its final session marked by significant events including the transition to a new building, government-opposition clashes and crucial legislative actions. Ram Temple issue, dominated discussions in both houses with the central government pushing through a resolution despite opposition boycotts, except from the Congress.

BJP MP Satyapal Singh introduced a resolution praising the construction of the Ram Temple in the Lok Sabha leading to a four-hour debate before Speaker Om Birla declared it a historical achievement.

Congress, despite initially abstaining joined the discussion referencing controversies like the blocking of Rahul Gandhi's temple visit in Assam.
