Both houses of Parliament have been adjourned till 2 PM over the opposition uproar on various issues, including the NEET paper leak case.

 

When the Lok Sabha reassembled after the first adjournment at 12 noon, the House took up motions for election to different committees of the Parliament amid opposition uproar. Presiding Officer Sandhya Ray urged the members to return to their seats and allow the house to function smoothly.

 

She said, Zero Hour belongs to the Members and the entire country is watching the proceedings of the House.’ Despite her appeal, the opposition members came to the well with placards and carried on sloganeering over NEET and student protests. It led to adjournment of the Lok Sabha till 2 PM.      

 

Earlier, when the House began its proceedings at 11 AM, Speaker Om Birla tried to take up the Question Hour, but the opposition members raised the issue of the paper leak of the NEET examination. Mr Birla urged the opposition to cooperate in running the House, but the opposition members continued with their protest, which led to adjournment of the Lok Sabha till 12 noon.

 

The same scene was also witnessed in the Rajya Sabha. When the Upper House met after the first adjournment at 12 noon, Chairman CP Radhakrishnan appealed to opposition Members to go to their seats and allow functioning of the House, but the Opposition did not pay heed to his advice. Amid Uproar, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 PM.  

 

Earlier, when the House began its proceedings, Ministers laid papers. Chairman C P Radhakrishnan allowed the Leader of the Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, to raise their issue. Mr Kharge raised the issue of student protests yesterday in New Delhi over the NEET issue. After that, due to uproar by the opposition and treasury benches, the Upper House was adjourned till 12 noon.
