The RajyaSabha’s proceedings were once again repeatedly disrupted on Tuesday – four times in the pre-lunch session – over alleged corruption in the Delhi and District Cricket Association issue as Congress members
raised slogans against the government.
Congress leader Kumari Selja raised the issue soon after the upper house met.
Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien, however, said an allegation against a member cannot be made in the house without prior notice.
The deputy chairman tried to make the house function, but the din continued.
After around half-an-hour, the house was adjourned till 12 noon.
As the Congress members raised slogans
to demand the resignation of the finance minister when the house met for
the question hour at 12 noon, Chairman M. Hamid Ansari adjourned the
house for half-an-hour.
At 12.35 p.m., Ansari tried again to
take up the question hour, but confusion prevailed amid the din as to
which question was being taken up. The house was adjourned till 1 p.m.
and then again till 2 p.m.
The proceedings in the upper house were
disrupted on Monday as well after Congress members demanded Finance
Minister Arun Jaitley’s resignation over alleged corruption in the DDCA.
