Logjam continued today in both the Houses of Parliament over the issue of Manipur violence. The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 5 PM while the opposition staged a walkout from Rajya Sabha in the post lunch session.
In the Lok Sabha, when the House reassembled after first adjournment at 2 PM, the opposition members comprising mainly of Congress, DMK, JD(U), and TMC again rushed into the well of the House raising slogans. They were demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement over Manipur violence on the floor of the House. Amid din, the House passed Biological Diversity (Amendment) Bill 2022 after a brief discussion. As ruckus continued, the House was adjourned till 5 PM.
Earlier, in the morning, when the House met, the opposition created ruckus on the Manipur violence issue. Speaker Om Birla tried to run Question Hour and repeatedly urged the protesting members to allow the House to function. He said, discussion alone can resolve issues and not sloganeering. But ruckus continued in the House leading to its adjournment till 2 PM.
