Seven Ministers meet Venkaiah Naidu, urge action against Opposition MPs

Condemn “unprecedented, extreme and violent acts in the House”

A delegation of seven ministers called on Vice- President M .Venkaiah Naidu, who is the Chairman of Rajya Sabha, to demand action against some of the opposition members for what the government described as “unprecedented, extreme and violent acts” in the House on August 11, the concluding day of the monsoon session of Parliament. The meeting comes just a day after Mr. Naidu had visited the Parliament House to review television footage of the proceedings including the alleged scuffle between Opposition members and marshals while the General Insurance Amendment Bill, 2021 was being passed. The delegation submitted a memorandum to Mr. Naidu. During the meeting, the delegation alleged that Opposition members were preventing the marshals from discharging their duties, threw House papers, Minutes book and others, abused the Chair and finally obstructing the House from performing its duties, said the source in the Rajya Sabha secretariat.
