New Delhi: Both houses of Parliament were adjourned for the day following intense protests from the opposition over the Adani Group controversy and the Sambhal incident. Opposition members demanded urgent discussions on these issues, leading to repeated disruptions.
In the Rajya Sabha, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar disallowed 20 notices under Rule 267, including eight seeking a discussion on the US indictment of the Adani Group. The decision triggered protests from opposition leaders, who accused the government of avoiding accountability on crucial matters.
In the Lok Sabha, similar disruptions occurred as opposition MPs pressed for discussions on the Sambhal issue, where recent incidents of violence have sparked widespread concern.
Despite efforts by the presiding officers to restore order, the uproar persisted, forcing adjournments. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi urged members to cooperate and allow proceedings to continue, emphasizing the government’s willingness to address issues within the established agenda.
The protests highlight escalating tensions between the government and opposition as Parliament enters a crucial phase of its winter session.
