Budget Session Highlights: Proceedings at the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 11 AM Wednesday, following slogan-shouting by members in both Houses of the Parliament. In a repeat of events since the start of the second leg of the Budget session of Parliament on March 13, both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned without transacting any business due to the protests by the treasury benches against Gandhi for his London remarks and by the Opposition over its demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe (JPC) probe into the Adani issue. Rahul Gandhi has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to allow him to speak in the house over his London remarks as Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri said an “unambiguous apology” could end the logjam.
