New Delhi: Both Houses of Parliament faced repeated adjournments and disruptions through the day with Opposition-led by Congress disrupting the proceedings over various issues ranging from Kumari Selja to General V.K. Singh’s remarks over Dalits.
Congress members on Tuesday forced three adjournments of the Rajya Sabha, protesting the statements of Union Ministers Arun Jaitley and Piyush Goyal disputing the version of former Minister Kumari Selja that she was asked about her caste in a Gujarat temple.
The Congress members trooped into the Well raising slogans, forcing three adjournments - the first time for 10 minutes, then till noon and thereafter again till 2 p.m., alleging that the government’s statements disputing Selja’s remarks were “misleading”.
While Union Minister V.K.Singh was at the centre of attack, with Congress creating a ruckus in the Lok Sabha seeking action against him for his dog analogy and staged a walkout. The Trinamul and the Left too staged a walkout with the Left seeking action against the Minister, who was present in the House.
