NEW DELHI: Parliament continued to witness pandemonium on Monday, with the opposition raising the Pegasus spyware controversy, even as Lok Sabha passed the Factoring Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2020 and the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management Bill, 2021 in the midst of a din.
Lok Sabha was adjourned by presiding officer Rama Devi after the two bills were passed. The House had to be adjourned four times as opposition MPs refused to relent despite repeated requests of the presiding officers, insisting that their demand for an inquiry into telephone hacking allegations be met.
Acrimonious scenes were also seen after the House was adjourned as TMC MPs, led by Kalyan Banerjee, continued shouting “shame, shame” targeting parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi for introduction of the bills. Earlier, the House displayed a brief moment of unanimity in congratulating weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu for her silver at the Tokyo Olympics.
