Slogans In Sabha! Lok Sabha Proceedings Adjourned Till 2 PM

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm on Thursday amid slogan-shouting by Congress and ruling party members over Rahul Gandhi’s democracy remarks and Adani issue. As soon as the House assembled for the day after obituary references, Congress members demanded that Gandhi should be allowed to speak in the House.

Slogans In Sabha

They also demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into alleged stock manipulation by the Adani Group. Members of treasury benches raised counter-slogans from their seats, demanding an apology from Gandhi for his remarks.

The turmoil continued for about about 10 minutes with Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla urging the members to allow the House to function normally. “I will give you the opportunity to speak after the Question Hour. I have never stopped anyone from speaking. But that has to be within rules,” he said.

However, the opposition members ignored the speaker’s pleas and continued their protests. “The country wants the House to function normally. People want their issues to be raised in the House. If you don’t want the House not to function properly, then I will adjourn it,” Birla said and adjourned the House till 2 pm.

BJP Accusing Rahul Gandhi

During his interactions in London, Gandhi alleged that the structures of Indian democracy are under attack and there is a “full-scale assault” on the country’s institutions. The remarks triggered a political slugfest, with the BJP accusing him of maligning India on foreign soil and seeking foreign interventions, and the Congress hitting back at the ruling party by citing instances of Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising internal politics abroad.

The ruling alliance also sought an apology from Gandhi while the Congress demanded that he should be allowed to speak in the House to clarify his position. Earlier, the House paid tributes to revolutionaries Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru on their martyrdom day.

It also paid tributes to three former members who died recently.
