Parliament proceedings | RS adjourned in eight minutes as Opposition once again rejects proposal to debate farm issue instead of Pegasus
The Hindu
The government appears to be equally adamant to avoid the debate on this subject.
The Rajya Sabha adjourned within eight minutes of convening for the day after the Opposition rejected Chairman Venkaiah Naidu’s proposal to debate the farm laws on Tuesday. On Monday night, Congress chief whip Jairam Ramesh revealed on Twitter that a discussion on “The agricultural problems and solutions” was listed and his name also figured among the movers. Mr. Ramesh called the move “too clever-by-half”. “The discussion has NOTHING to do with my notice given on July 23rd on the ongoing farmers’ agitation,” he tweeted posting along with it a photo of the motion moved by him. The Opposition parties have maintained that a debate on Pegasus spyware has to precede any other debate. The government, on the other hand, is equally adamant to avoid the debate on this subject.More Related News
