LS, RS adjourned till Tuesday
New Delhi – A united Opposition on Monday forced adjournments in both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha.
After the Opposition parities didn’t heed to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan’s repeated requests, she adjourned the House till Tuesday. The House faced complete wash-out.
In the Rajya Sabha, the Opposition parties continuously shouted slogans and Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien was forced to make at least three adjournments. When the House finally met at 3 pm, the Opposition once again continued to storm the well and Mr. Kurien adjourned the House till Tuesday.
While the Congress, BSP, TMC and the CPI(M), among others, wanted a resolution condoling the deaths to come from the Chair, Leader of the House and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley charged the Opposition with running away from the demonetisation debate.
