Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a brief statement in the Lok Sabha on Monday afternoon, saying that he was unable to understand why the Opposition was not allowing a discussion on Manipur violence to run in the House. In his address, the Home Minister said that he is requesting the members of the House to cooperate in a discussion on the critical issue. However, protests in the Lower House continued, and proceedings for the day were adjourned soon after Mr. Shah’s statement.
Earlier in the day, the Rajya Sabha adopted a motion suspending AAP floor leader Sanjay Singh from the House for the rest of the session, as Question Hour continued among intense protests by Opposition members. The Upper House has been adjourned till 3.00 p.m.
Proceedings were off to a stormy start already on day three. In the Lok Sabha, Opposition MPs demanded that the PM address the House on the Manipur issue. As Question Hour was drowned by sloganeering, the House was adjourned till noon. The day commenced with relative calm in the Rajya Sabha, with AITC MP Saket Gokhale being sworn in as a new member. Eleven notices for short-duration discussion and 27 for suspension of business of the House were received by the Chair, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Proceedings derailed into chaos after a war of words between TMC leader Derek O’Brien and Mr. Dhankhar, when Mr. O’Brien objected to the fact that Mr. Dhankhar read out the party affiliations for BJP members but not for Opposition members. The Upper House, too, was adjourned till 12 noon.
Since the start of the session on Thursday, Parliament proceedings have been drowned in protests related to Manipur violence. On day two as well, both Houses barely conducted any proceedings.
