Monsoon Session Live Updates: Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha Adjourned Till 2 pm

Lok Sabha adjourns till 2 pm amid opposition protests on Manipur issue

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm today as Opposition parties continued to protest on the Manipur issue.

Members from various opposition parties sought to raise the issue as soon as the House met for the day. Some members shouted slogans and displayed placards in the Well of the House.

Speaker Om Birla reminded them that it was not appropriate to do so, saying it was against the decorum of the House.

Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha, Piyush Goyal makes a remark on the black clothes worn by Opposition MPs soon after Foreign Minister Dr S Jaishankar’s statement on the latest developments in India’s Foreign Policy.

He says, “Unfortunate that politics is being done even on such a serious matter. This is a matter of India’s honour, a matter of India’s emerging image before the world…I think that the people who are wearing black clothes can’t understand the increasing power of the country….Their present, past and future are black. But we hope there will be light in their life too…”

When asked about his objection that why only Congress, and not all INDIA alliance parties, sign the No Confidence Motion, CPI MP Binoy Viswam says, “That chapter is closed. No Confidence Motion is there in the Parliament now signed by a sufficient number of MPs. Not only the CPI but many parties feel that it would have been effective & meaningful if all the parties in India would have been represented in that Motion by signature…We all raised our objection to the Congress leadership in a responsible way. Congress understood it and their leadership was so democratic in understanding that they agreed that it happened out of hurry. We don’t want to make it a big issue. All the parties will be together in fighting the BJP Gobt inside & outside the Parliament…”

We demanded that PM Modi should come to the Parliament & have a detailed discussion on the Manipur issue…Don’t know why the Prime Minister is not speaking. We were forced to bring a no-confidence motion. We know that this will not bring down the government, but we have no choice.
