Both Houses of Parliament witnessed disruption over Manipur violence and other issues on the second consecutive day today. The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned for the day.
In the Lok Sabha, when the House met after first adjournment at 12 Noon, members from Congress, DMK, JD(U), Shiv Sena (UBT), and others trooped into the well, raising slogans over the issue. They were demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement in the House over the Manipur issue. Members from BRS, BSP, Samajwadi Party, and others were on their feet. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi reiterated that the government is ready for discussion, and alleged that opposition is not allowing the House to take up discussion on the Manipur issue. Some BJP members from West Bengal raised slogans against the TMC government over violence in the State. Amid ruckus, the Presiding Officer urged the protesting members to go back to their seats and allow the House to function, but they continued with their sloganeering leading to adjournment of the House for the day.
