Lok Sabha Budget session ends, Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2 p.m. amid uproar

While the Lok Sabha’s Budget session has been adjourned sine die (for an indefinite period), the Rajya Sabha was also adjourned till 2 p.m. after an uproar by the Opposition members demanding a JPC probe into the Adani issue

Lok Sabha's Budget session ended as scheduled on April 6 with Speaker Om Birla announcing that the House had been adjourned sine die (for an indefinite period) as opposition MPs kept up their protest for a JPC probe into the Adani issue.

The protest began as soon as the House met for the day.

Opposition members came to the well raising slogans and carrying placards with their demands written on them.

The Speaker said the behaviour of Opposition members had lowered the dignity of the House and they had “systematically” disrupted proceedings. Such behaviour, he added, “is against the parliamentary system and not good for the House or the country”.

Opposition MPs ignored the Speaker's pleas and continued their protests.

After completing his customary valedictory speech, Mr. Birla announced the adjournment of the House sine die.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several Ministers, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, were present in the House. Most BJP members were wearing saffron scarves to coincide with the foundation day of the party.
