As the Lok Sabha’s budget session came to a close on Thursday as planned, Speaker Om Birla declared that the House had been adjourned sine die (for an indefinite time), despite the opposition MPs’ continued protest. As soon as the House convened for the day, the protest got underway. On the other hand, Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm.
Since the Budget session began on March 13, protests by the Opposition and Treasury benches have caused delays in the Lok Sabha’s procedures. While the opposition called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee investigation into the Adani-Hindenburg scandal, the BJP is still pressing Rahul Gandhi to retract comments he made about how democracy is being attacked in London.
