Both the Houses of the parliament have been adjourned till 12:00 noon following opposition parties’ uproar over various issues, including the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral roll in Bihar. When the Lok Sabha assembled at 11:00 AM, the opposition parties started a protest demanding a discussion on the issue of SIR.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla expressed displeasure over the behaviour of the protesting members, saying that disrupting the proceedings of the House is not appropriate. Despite the appeal, the opposition members continued with their protest, following which the Speaker adjourned the House till 12:00 noon.
Similar scenes were witnessed in the Rajya Sabha also. When the Rajya Sabha assembled at 11:00 AM, Deputy Chairman Harivansh said that he had received 18 adjournment notices from different political parties relating to various issues, but the notices were rejected, citing the ruling.
Following this, the opposition members started sloganeering. Harivansh tried to run Zero Hour, saying that this business is for members and they can raise issues of public importance. As the pandemonium continued, the Deputy Chairman adjourned the House till 12:00 noon.
