Parliament Budget Session: The Budget Session of the Parliament on Friday was disrupted for the fifth straight day, as Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 11 AM Monday, following ruckus in the House. Lok Sabha proceedings were again adjourned for the day due to slogan shouting by the opposition and protests by the ruling party members over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s “democracy-under-attack” remarks made in London recently.
This was for the fifth consecutive day that the House did not function ever since the second half of the budget session began on March 13. The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till March 20 on Friday, minutes after the House was convened as the opposition and ruling party members created an uproar. While the Opposition has been demanding a discussion and a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe into the Adani issue, ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members are demanding an apology from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his “democracy-under-threat” remarks made in London recently.
The Budget Session of the Parliament resumed on Monday, following a month-long recess, and will continue till April 14. It started on January 31 with the President’s address to the joint sitting of both the Houses.
