Parliament s Monsoon Session begins today
The Monsoon Session of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha began on a stormy note on Monday with the Opposition creating a ruckus and preventing Prime Minister Narendra Modi from introducing his newly-inducted Union Ministers. The Prime Minister said he was expecting members of the House to show enthusiasm by thumping their desks as a large number of those from the Dalits, Scheduled Tribes and OBC communities as well as sons of farmers and those from economically backward and rural backgrounds have become ministers in the recent rejig. However, probably, some people did not like that people of such background have become ministers and that is why they are now conducting themselves with such behaviour, he said. In the Rajya Sabha as well, the opposition MPs created ruckus and prevented the Prime Minister from introducing the new Ministers.Â
