  "summary": "The Himachal Pradesh Assembly witnessed a second day of disruption on Saturday as the ongoing row over Vande Mataram and the National Anthem continued to mar proceedings. The Congress and BJP members traded allegations, raised slogans, and staged protests, leading to the adjournment of the House twice. Congress members, including Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, accused BJP MLAs of disrespecting the National Anthem during Friday's proceedings, while the BJP demanded the release of CCTV footage to establish the truth of the matter. The issue dominated the proceedings and posed a challenge for the Speaker, who had to manage the escalating tensions between the two parties.",
