Amid ruckus from the Opposition seeking revocation of suspension of 12 MPs from the House, the Rajya Sabha on Monday witnessed five back to back adjournments as they refused to participate in the short discussion on inflation.
Joint Opposition, including Congress, DMK, Trinamool Congress, TRS, AAP and the Left, continued their protest the entire day, following which, the House was adjourned for the fifth time in a day as soon as it assembled at 4 pm after the fourth adjournment.
Amid the pandemonium created by the Opposition members, Union Home Minister Amit Shah read his statement over the unfortunate killing of 13 civilians in Nagaland by security forces on Saturday, who called it an incident of “mistaken identity”.
Subsequently, Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh requested the Opposition MPs to go back to their seats and to begin the discussion on the situation arising out of price rise in the country including the rise in the prices of petroleum products.
As the din continued, the Deputy Chairman adjourned the House till 11 am on Tuesday.
