Both the Houses of Parliament today adjourned sine die. During the second leg of the Budget Session which started on 13th of last month, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha witnessed continuous uproar over the Adani group issue and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Indian democracy. Due to logjam between the treasury and the opposition benches, the two Houses could not take up discussion on Union Budget and other legislations and these were passed amid din.
In the Lok Sabha, when the House met this morning, Speaker Om Birla made valedictory remarks highlighting the works done during the Budget Session. He said eight Bills were introduced in the House, out of which six were passed. The Speaker expressed displeasure over the continuous disruption in the House saying the kind of conduct displayed is not good for the democratic decorum of the country. He also objected to displaying placards and planned disruptions in the House adding that it is for debate and discussion and such conduct is not justified. When the Speaker was making his remarks, the members from Congress, DMK and others were in the well raising slogans in support of their demand for Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani Group issue. Members from JD(U), TMC and others were on their feet.
