After a week of disruption over Adani indictment and other issues that prevented the Upper House from conducting any business, Rajya Sabha started functioning normally Tuesday with members raising issues of importance with permission of the chair. SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav raised the recent violence and tensions in Sambhal, linking it with Nov 20 assembly polls. He said the incident was pre-planned to divert people’s attention. After he was prevented from completing his remarks by Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, SP and a few other parties – AITC, RJD, IUML and Sena UBT walked out in protest.
Earlier, Dhankhar said he had received 42 adjournment notices under Rule 267 on various issues, highest in the last quarter of a century. He also expressed anguish that a Rule 267 notice was made public even before it was considered. The chairman termed it a “disregard of provisions” and said the matter would be taken up with heads of various parties.
