Opposition demands immediate discussion on farm laws, agitation
Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday asserted that the three farm bills have gone through ‘threadbare’ discussion in the House as both Houses witnessed multiple disruptions over the issue.
In the Lok Sabha, leader of the Congress Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury demanded an immediate discussion on the laws and the farmers’ agitation.
“The entire country is watching us. So far 170 farmers have died during the agitation. It seems we have returned to British Raj going by the harassment that they are facing,” Mr. Chowdhury said shortly before the Lok Sabha was adjourned for the second time after loud protests.
The House was first adjourned for about 40 minutes till 10:30. As soon as the House met again, similar scenes were witnessed leading to another adjournment till 11:30 am.
The Congress, the Left, the TMC, the DMK and the RJD members first walked out from Rajya Sabha after their demand for suspension of business of the day for taking up the discussion was rejected by the Chair.
Opposition members shouted slogans to disrupt the Question Hour, forcing Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu to adjourn the proceedings till 10:30 am.
As the protesting members continued sloganeering, Naidu asked them to return to their seats.
“Please go to your seats and allow the House to function. Some of you said the last time that not having question hour is ‘murder of democracy’. This is a statement made outside,” he said.
