Rajya Sabha adjourned for day amid opposition uproar

New Delhi, Dec 13 (UNI) The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day on Thursday amid protest by AIADMK, DMK, CPM and TDP members over various issues.

Soon after laying the papers, the AIADMK, DMK and TDP members entered into the Well, seeking suspension of all business of the House for taking up their respective states’ issues that include protection of Delta farmers and implementation of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.
The opposition members had given four notices for suspension of rules to discuss the issues. “I have received 4 notices for suspension of rules but I have decided not take them up as on this day, our nine people gave their lives in protecting us and Parliament,” said Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu.

But the agitating members did not pay any heed and continued with their slogans in favour of discussions.

Earlier, the House observed silence and paid respect to five Delhi police personnel and others who lost lives on December 13, 2001 when terrorists had attacked Parliament.
