Adjourning the House over sloganeering by Opposition MPs, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said, “I want to tell those members who are indulging in sloganeering that they should take part in discussions. The public wants the Parliament to work.”
Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh hit out at the ‘obstinacy’ of the PM Modi government after the Rajya Sabha was adjourned without discussion on price rise and GST hike. He said the business in Parliament was suffering to the government’s denial of a debate on the issues.
Opposition MPs were seen holding ‘Gabbar Singh strikes again’ banners inside the Lok Sabha on Day 3 of the monsoon session.
Leader of Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge and other opposition members were demanding discussion under rule 267. Kharge said that inflation has affected everyone as prices of all essential food items, LGP and others have been increased.
As members continued to protest, Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu adjourned the House till 2pm.
At the start of the House proceedings, athlete P.T. Usha took oath as a Member of the Upper House. Earlier this month, the government nominated her and three others to the Rajya Sabha.
The Rajya Sabha has been witnessing protests by the opposition members since the start of the monsoon session on Monday. Opposition benches are demanding a discussion on GST rate hike, Agnipath scheme and other issues.
Earlier today, Congress MPs Mallikarjun Kharge and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury joined in the opposition protest in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue in Parliament premises. The protest was organised over the issues of price rise and inflation.
The monsoon session of Parliament commenced on July 18 and will continue till August 12. There will be 18 sittings during the session.
