The logjam continued in both the Houses of Parliament on the third consecutive day today over the issues of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s democracy remarks and Adani Group matter.
In Lok Sabha, when the House reassembled after the first adjournment at 2 PM, Treasury bench members again started sloganeering demanding an apology from Mr. Gandhi. Members from Congress, DMK and some other opposition parties trooped into the well-demanding JPC probe in the Adani Group issue. Amid the noisy scene, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi reiterated the allegation that Mr. Gandhi had insulted Parliament by his remarks. He also alleged that the Congress leader cast aspersions on the Chair. Mr. Joshi demanded that action should be taken against the protesting members for their unruly behaviour.
Amid the ruckus, the Presiding Officer urged the members to allow the House to function but in vain. He adjourned the House for the day. Earlier in the Morning, when the House met, it witnessed sloganeering and counter-sloganeering between treasury and opposition bench members over the issues.
