The Rajya Sabha today adjourned to meet on 13th of next month after a recess of one month. On the last day of the first part of the Budget Session of the Parliament, the House witnessed protests by Opposition members over expunging the remarks of Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge, Adani Group issue and other matters.
When the House met this morning, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar disallowed adjournment notices moved by Aam Aadmi Party and BRS members. Mr. Kharge raised the issue of expunging his remarks made on the Motion of Thanks to President Droupadi Murmu’s address to both the Houses. Chairman rejected Mr. Kharge’s allegation that the Chair is working under any pressure.
He also justified the action against Congress MP Rajni Patel for filming a video of the proceeding in the House. Later, members from Congress, AAP and other Opposition members trooped into the Well, raising slogans over expunging the remarks as well as their demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani Group issue. The Chairman warned them of action but they continued with their sloganeering, forcing the adjournment of the House till 11:50 PM.
