Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till March 13 on Monday as Opposition parties disrupted the House, demanding revocation of the suspension of Congress MP Rajani Patil and setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe allegations against the Adani Group.
The House, which was briefly adjourned in the morning, will now meet at 11 am on March 13 after recess.
Soon after the listed papers were laid on the table of the House, Opposition MPs insisted that the Chair allow Leader of Opposition and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to speak.
When Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar permitted Kharge to speak, several members from the treasury benches started raising slogans.
We wanted the House to run and discuss Adani issue but Centre didn’t want that. We did not get a single chance to put forward the issue. Why was no JPC probe ordered? The way PM spoke in Parliament, that’s not how a PM is supposed to speak, Congress MP Shaktisinh Gohil told ANI outside parliament.
Blaming the opposition four Rajya Sabha fiasco, Union Minister Piyush Goyal told ANI , The opposition leaders didn’t let the Rajya Sabha function smoothly. It is indirectly a disrespect of the Chair. Many members were passing comments. The opposition comes to the parliament with the motive of not letting dialogues happen peacefully.
