Rajya Sabha chairman and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar likens Parliament chaos to Murphy's Law
He said the repeated disruptions were due to a "deliberate algorithm" to prevent crucial business from being conducted.
Murphy's Law says anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Dhankhar suggested that a "deliberate algorithm" was in place to prevent crucial business from being conducted in the House.
"It appears that there exists a deliberate algorithm to actualise Murphy's laws in this august House, consequently impeding the proper functioning of Parliament. We find ourselves achieving precisely the antithesis of what our Constitution ordains," Dhankhar said, addressing the House amid sloganeering.
The Rajya Sabha Chairman’s remarks came after opposition MPs stood to demand discussions under Rule 267 on issues including business tycoon Gautam Adani's indictment in the US, ethnic violence in Manipur, and the Sambhal clashes. Despite Dhankhar’s appeals to let the scheduled agenda proceed, the commotion persisted.
In an emotional appeal, Dhankhar invoked the Constitution’s framers, urging lawmakers to ensure the Parliament remains functional.
"Don’t make it dysfunctional," he said, adding that the ongoing turmoil meant “nothing is going on record.”
As the uproar continued, Dhankhar adjourned the House for the day.
Opposition leaders slammed the adjournment, claiming the government was avoiding debate on key issues. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh described the situation as "extraordinary," asserting that both Houses were adjourned despite minimal disruptions.
“Today too both Houses got adjourned. INDIA parties had given notices for an immediate discussion on Adani, Manipur, Sambhal, & Ajmer. These parties never agitated. There was hardly any sloganeering. But the Modi Govt simply did not want Parliament to function. The situation is truly extraordinary (sic),” Ramesh tweeted.
The Rajya Sabha member mentioned that the Opposition requested a two-day discussion on the Constitution to mark its 75th anniversary, which was celebrated on November 26, but the government has yet to notify the dates for it.
The Winter Session of Parliament, which began on November 25, has been a complete washout so far due to repeated adjournments amid protests by opposition lawmakers seeking discussion on the Adani issue and violence in Manipur and Sambhal.

Former Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense Kash Patel will now head the famed or otherwise FBI.
"The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER.
We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs...., and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy".
- Donald Trump, President-elect of US, tweeted.
"They can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.
In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin had officially unveiled the BRICS currency banknote aiming to replace the dollar.
There have been interesting reactions on social media.
"If you want US Dollar to remain as the global currency for next 100 years and beyond, then STOP weaponising the dollar. Apparently, BRICS are only doing what's best for their people and future, because dollar has been highly weaponised and it's a big challenge for many countries," wrote George Roger.
Another reaction poured in - "Good bye to USA economy from Uganda. We are tired of exchanging valuable goods like coffee, cocoa, gold for greenbacks. What does USA export apart from Greenbacks? Thanks Vladimir Putin for this idea of Brics currency," penned Idyobe Moses.
Social media is also discussing a lot on appointment of Kash Patel as the new director of FBI.
"Kash Patel as FBI Director is not just a change in leadership; it's a declaration of war on the Deep State, a promise to dismantle the corruption that has plagued the US justice system," goes a posting.
Another tweet said - "He (Kash Patel) says the Deep State is terrified of the Trump Administration because of the truth that it will reveal, but a drastic reformation of government must take place in order to restore America to its greatness and bring the power back to the people where it belongs."
US President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday nominated his loyalist Kash Patel to be the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
During the previous Trump administration, the 44-year-old lawyer served as the Chief of Staff to the US Secretary of Defense.
According to The Atlantic, his father immigrated to the US from Uganda in the 1970s amid Idi Amin's repressive rule. He was born in 1980 and raised in New York's Garden City.
Patel - a strong critic of the US ‘deep state’ declared that he would close the FBI's iconic headquarters in Pennsylvania, the Hoover Building, and re-open it as “a museum of the deep state.”
In 2023, as Donald Trump's reelection bid was underway, he declared that a new book by his adviser Kash Patel would serve as a "blueprint" for his next administration.
"This is the roadmap to end the Deep State's reign," Trump said of the book on his Truth Social media platform.
Titled "Government Gangsters," it calls for a "comprehensive housecleaning" of the Justice Department and an eradication of "government tyranny" within the FBI by firing "the top ranks" and prosecuting "to the fullest extent of the law" anyone who "in any way abused their authority for political ends."
" FBI has become so thoroughly compromised that it will remain a threat to the people unless drastic measures are taken," Patel claimed in his book.
Democrats "should be very afraid," Patel wrote, as Trump and his allies battle "the Deep State" -- what conspiracy theorists claim is a cadre of career employees inside government who are working together to secretly manipulate policy and undermine elected leaders.
Notably, a special counsel investigation launched by the Justice Department under Trump's first term concluded that "senior FBI personnel" and federal prosecutors working the Russia-related probe had "displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor" toward politically-tainted information, failing to "adequately examine or question" that information before launching a full-scale investigation of Trump and his associates.
