Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned till tomorrow due to deadlock over Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on democracy and other issues. Even today, the deadlock continued in both the Houses of the Parliament over Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on democracy and the issues of the Adani Group. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm shortly after they began this morning.
Members of the ruling parties raised slogans demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi for his remarks when the Lok Sabha met this morning. At the same time, members of Congress, DMK, NCP and other parties remained adamant on demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe into the Adani group issue. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla repeatedly appealed to the members to allow the proceedings to continue, but the uproar continued. He also tried to start the Question Hour, which went in vain. Later, the proceedings of the House were adjourned till two o’clock.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Monday that the impasse in Parliament could end if former Congress President Rahul Gandhi apologizes for his remarks made in the context of Indian democracy in London.
