New Delhi, Feb 10 (LatestNewsX) The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the second time on
Tuesday, this time, six minutes after reconvening, as the Opposition refused to
continue with a proper discussion on the Union Budget and created a ruckus.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju requested the Congress MPs,
who were shouting ‘We want justice’ slogans, to let the discussion proceed, as
the members want to lay down their points on the Union Budget.
“Yesterday also, we requested the Congress party with folded hands that there
should be discussions on the Union Budget. Shashi Tharoor’s name was also
called; every party gave their list of speakers… Everyone wants to speak, but
Congress does not want to start speaking. They create a ruckus every day by
coming into the well of the House,” he said.
“The Congress party has already damaged the dignity of the Parliament. I request
them not to continue with this,” Rijiju added.
The Opposition members refused to maintain silence and continued with their
relentless sloganeering.
Following this, the House was adjourned till 2 p.m.
Earlier in the day, the Lok Sabha was adjourned at 11:01 a.m., having reconvened
just a minute earlier at 11:00 a.m. This resulted in only one minute of
proceedings in the House.
The adjournment occurred as Opposition MPs continued their sloganeering, a
pattern they have followed throughout the past week. They have been demanding
that the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, should be
allowed to speak in the House.
However, the Speaker gave him permission to speak on the Union Budget, but
Gandhi remained adamant on speaking on the “unpublished book” of former Army
Chief General M.M. Naravane (Retd.).
Gandhi was unable to finish his speech during the Motion of Thanks for the
President’s Address the previous week, as he was not allowed to mention the
“unpublished book” of the former Army Chief.
