The Rajya Sabha was today adjourned for the day following opposition protest over the alleged misuse of probe agencies. When the House met in the post-lunch session at 2 PM, the members from Congress, DMK TMC, Left and others continued their protest. Deputy Chairman Harivansh repeatedly urged order in the House but the agitating members did not pay heed. Amid ruckus, the House passed the Family Courts (Amendment ) Bill 2022 with voice vote. As the uproar continued, the House was adjourned for the day.
Earlier, when the House met after the first adjournment at 12 Noon, members from Congress, TMC, Shiv Sena and others trooped into the well raising slogans against the government. Members from DMK, Left and others were also on their feet. Leader of Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge said, he has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate today despite the Parliament session is underway. He alleged that the government is trying to suppress the opposition and democracy in the country. He said, the opposition will not succumb to pressure. Responding to it, Leader of the House Piyush Goyal rejected the allegation of the government’s involvement in probe agencies’ action.
He said, the government does not interfere in the functioning of law enforcement agencies. Mr. Goyal alleged that probably the previous Congress government used to interfere in the functioning of agencies. Terming the allegation as baseless, he said, the opposition must follow the law and allow the House to function. Amid continuous uproar, the Presiding Officer repeatedly urged to maintain order in the House but the agitating members continued with their sloganeering. The House completed Question Hour amid din.
