The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the fourth time on Monday, this time until 2 p.m., as Opposition members continued sloganeering and displayed protest banners inside the House.
Lok Sabha Adjourned Repeatedly Amid Sloganeering
The proceedings had earlier been adjourned multiple times amid continued disruptions. After the House reconvened at noon, it functioned for only around seven minutes before being adjourned again until 12.30 p.m.
Dilip Saikia, who was in the Chair in the lower house, repeatedly appealed to members to maintain order and allow the House to function. However, the protests and sloganeering continued.
Saikia questioned the disruption and urged members to allow the House to take up Zero Hour discussions on important issues.
“This behaviour is not good for democracy... Do you not want the House to function?” the Chair asked.
Rajya Sabha Also Adjourned
The Rajya Sabha was also adjourned until 2 p.m. amid uproar over the CJP-led protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
The repeated disruptions in both Houses came amid heightened political tensions over the protest being led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar.
Speaker Appeals for Order
At the beginning of the proceedings, Speaker Om Birla paid tribute to former MPs who had passed away. However, the proceedings were soon disrupted as Opposition members continued their protest.
The Speaker repeatedly appealed to the members to maintain peace, assuring them that they would be given an opportunity to raise issues during the proceedings.
Further proceedings in both Houses are expected to remain under focus as the Opposition continues to press its demands through protests inside and outside Parliament.
