Parliament adjourns for 2nd day as opposition protests continue

The session was adjourned amid ruckus

NEW DELHI: Parliament proceedings were washed out for the second consecutive day Tuesday as opposition members continued with their protests inside Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha over multiple issues, including police lathi-charge on those protesting NEET paper leak and alleged Ram temple donation theft. Both Houses were adjourned for the day after witnessing repeated disruptions.As soon as Lok Sabha took up the first question at 11am, opposition MPs started raising slogans despite being assured by Speaker Om Birla that they would get time to raise their issues as per rules. Birla, however, adjourned proceedings till 12 noon when the MPs did not relent.Similar scenes prevailed when the House reassembled. Ministers laid parliamentary documents amid the din before LS adjourned for the second time till 2pm and later for the day.Rajya Sabha too witnessed similar scenes and multiple adjournments before finally adjourning for the day. Earlier, after official papers were laid on the table of the House, leader of the opposition Mallikarjun Kharge rose to speak on the police action against students, alleging that they were lathi-charged and police also used tear gas Monday.His remarks triggered slogan-shouting by treasury bench members. The opposition raised counter-slogans, leading to the first adjournment. Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day during the second half amid the din.
