New Delhi, Mar 15: There was no let up in protests in the Lok Sabha for the ninth consecutive day
as members from principal opposition Congress and NDA constituent Telugu Desam
Party (TDP) carrying placards rushed to the well of the House creating
pandemonium on Thursday.
As soon as the day's proceedings began, members also from
AIADMK, Trinamool Congress and TRS were in the well trying to ventilate their
respective grievances.
Speaker Sumitra Mahajan allowed first listed question of the day to be taken up. On a question pertaining to the Ministry of Rural Development, raising supplementary query, BJP lawmaker from Mathura Hema Malini wanted to know how many beneficiaries have been identified under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Mathura district in Uttar Pradesh.
The Minister of State for Rural Development Ram Kripal Yadav was hardly able to reply amid the din. He said the government has so far sanctioned Rs 38,412 crore under the scheme. But as there was no improvement in the situation, nothing more could be heard in the din.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar urged the opposition members to go back to their seats so that House could function smoothly. "This is our Maha-panchayat," he said, referring to Lok Sabha and maintained that the sanctity of the House ought to be upheld.
However, continuous acrimonious scenes and slogan shouting yet again forced the Lok Sabha Speaker to adjourn the proceedings till 1200 hrs.
While members from Andhra Pradesh belonging to Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSR Congress Party entered into the well carrying placards demanding Special Category status for Andhra Pradesh, the Congress and Trinamool Congress members raised issues related to banking scams wherein diamond merchant Nirav Modi was allegedly allowed to flee India.
TRS members wanted increase in Muslim reservation quota in Telangana while AIADMK members sought immediate setting up of Cauvery Water Management Board.
Both the Houses of Parliament have failed to transact any business since the beginning of the second part of the Budget session on March 5.
On Wednesday, amid pandemonium and slogan shouting, the Lok Sabha passed the Budget 2018-19 while Demands for Grants and the Finance Bill were given nod without any discussion. UNI
