Both Houses of Parliament adjourned for the day following opposition protests
New Delhi, Dec 12 (IBNS) : The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till Thursday on the second day of the Winter Session following noisy protests by opposition members on various issues, including the Rafale deal, construction of Ram Temple and Cauvery river water.
Immediately after the House re-convened at noon, Congress, Shiv Sena, TDP and AIADMK members trooped into the well with placards and started shouting slogans in support of their demands.
Similar scenes were earlier witnessed when Question Hour began after obituary references to 11 former MPs. Congress members were demanding a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee into the alleged corruption in the Rafale aircraft deal while Shiv Sena MPs staged protests demanding immediate construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Members belonging to the AIADMK raised slogans demanding justice for Tamil Nadu farmers living along the Cauvery delta and TDP members demanded a railway zone at Vishkhapatnam. Speaker Sumitra Mahajan tried to pacify members but in vain. As the ruckus continued, the Speaker adjourned the House for the day.
The Winter session has about 43 bills listed for introduction, consideration, and passage, including the all-important Triple Talaq Bill.
