Rajya Sabha adjourned twice amid Opposition ruckus
New Delhi/UNI: The Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned twice on Thursday following fervent protests by the Opposition over Pegasus spyware controversy and Income Tax raids on Dainik Bhaskar newspaper group.
As the House assembled at 11 am, Congress leader Digvijay Singh attempted to raise the espionage issue and Income Tax raids on Dainik Bhaskar newspaper group. The Opposition Members of Congress, All India Trinamool Congress, Akali Dal and several other parties trooped to the Well showing placards targeting the government.
The Chair asked them to give notice on the issue to be raised and requested them to resume their seats. "Please go back to your seats...follow the parliamentary practice, send a notice to me. Going by merit, I will allow you," he remarked.
On seeing his repeated requests for decorum going unheeded, Naidu said, "Members are not interested in the proceedings... House is adjourned as some members are disturbing the proceedings," and adjourned the House till 1200 hrs.
When the House reconvened at 12 noon, the scene was no different with the Opposition continuing to raise slogans against the government.
Chairperson Harivansh tried pacifying the agitating Members but when it went in vain, he adjourned the House till 2 pm.
