When BJP Rajya Sabha member Narhari Amin passed out during the early morning session, there were some tense moments. Piyush Goyal, the commerce minister, and other politicians flocked to his aid. The 68-year-old Amin was spotted receiving water from officials before joining the group picture.

Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Congress, was spotted standing in the second-to-last row alongside Manish Tewari. Members of the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha were photographed while others were spotted squatting on the ground.
