New Delhi: The first week of the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament is all set for a washout with the Congress-led opposition determined to continue disrupting proceedings on the issue of the fuel price hike.
For the past two days, both Houses of Parliament have failed to function amidst protests from Opposition members, who’ve demanded a debate on the frequent hike in fuel prices.
Today, Rajya Sabha was adjourned for an hour after protests by opposition over the Chairman’s rejection of their request for discussion of farmers’ agitation.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu adjourned the house for an hour after Opposition members began sloganeering to demand a discussion on the ongoing farmer protest. Naidu disallowed a motion moved by Opposition parties under Rule 267 to suspend business of the day to discuss the farmers’ agitation.
