Lok Sabha TV blacked out opposition protest :Congress

New Delhi, Jul 23 (IBNS) As uproar and unrelenting confrontation marred proceedings of Parliament for the third consecutive day on Thursday, the Congress lodged a formal complaint with Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, alleging that the opposition's protest is being blacked out.

The complaint came after Lok Sabha TV broadcast showed Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and did not focus on the protests  by the members of the Congress-led opposition parties.

Referring to the issue, Congress president Sonia Gandhi said that it was the NDA government’s style to not show the opposition’s protest.

The Congress MPs, including vice president Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday sported black bands and raised anti-government placards on the floor of the House.

The all out war  between the ruling BJP and the opposition led to adjournment of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha till noon on Thursday in a repeat action of the previous two days of the monsoon session of Parliament.

Scenes of continued uproar prevailed in both houses as a recalcitrant opposition stuck to its demand for resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on the Lalit Modi issue, but the government said: "discuss or disrupt, there will be no resignation."
