New Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI) Rajya Sabha proceedings on Tuesday were adjourned till 12 noon without transacting any business as opposition parties sought to raise the hooch tragedy in ‘dry’ Gujarat as well as the issue of price rise.
No sooner had the House paid respect to the martyrs of the Kargil war and officials listed papers laid on the table, AAP’s Sanjay Singh and Congress’ Shaktisinh Sohil rushed to the Well of the House holding placards over the hooch tragedy in Gujarat in which 21 people have died.
Other opposition MPs, who have repeatedly disrupted proceedings since the start of the Monsoon session of Parliament on July 18, too were up on their feet raising issues such as price rise.
Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu said he has received notices under rule 267.
He, however, could not complete his ruling on the notices which seek to set aside the business of the day to discuss the issues being raised as opposition MPs started shouting slogans.
At this point, Naidu adjourned the proceedings till 12 noon. PTI KKS ANZ IJT
