Parliament Budget Session Highlights: The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 11 AM on March 15 as ruckus continued by the members of treasury benches seeking an apology from Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on his remarks made in London, while the Opposition kept up their demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) inquiry into the Adani-Hindenburg row. The Lok Sabha was also adjourned till 11 AM tomorrow.
As the Session in Both Houses began at 11 AM today, the Lok Sabha was adjourned till 2 PM, just within five minutes, while Rajya Sabha was adjourned later till 2 PM, amid Opposition leaders protest.
The Budget Session of the Parliament resumed on Monday and will continue till April 6, following a month-long recess, and the Houses witnessed uproarious scenes. While the treasury Bench demanded an apology from Congress
Shiv Sena (Uddhav) faction MP Priyanka Chaturvedi says, “As all Parliamentarians have congratulated, I also wish to congratulate. I would also like to mention that another history has been scripted, that an Indian actress had introduced 'Naatu Naatu' on the stage. She is Deepika Padukone
Along with this, I would also like to say, since I have mentioned Deepika Padukone, that after winning the Oscars, the boycott culture that goes on in social media platforms, we try and finish this, so that will be a piece of good news for us.”
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun says, “I also join to congratulate both the awardees – Naatu Naatu and Elephant Whisperers – both of them come from South India. It is great pride for us. We are also very proud in whatever you have said, we are with you. But my only request is that the ruling party should not take credit saying we have directed, we have written the poem, Modiji has directed the film. That is my only request. It is a contribution of the country.”
Lok Sabha adjourned till 2 PM, after the House met at 11 AM.
