Both Houses of Parliament were adjourned till\u00a02 pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0amid ruckus, Sushma Swaraj says she will make a statement in Parliament\u00a0on Thursday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0about Jadhav\u2019s meeting<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

For the seventh consecutive sitting of Parliament\u2019s winter session, a stalemate in proceedings continued\u00a0on Wednesday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0as Opposition members creating a ruckus in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.<\/span><\/p>\n

While until last week the logjam in both Houses was over the NDA government\u2019s persistent refusal to concede to the Congress-led Opposition\u2019s demand for an explanation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his unsubstantiated \u2018conspiring with Pakistan\u2019 claim against his predecessor, Dr Manmohan Singh,\u00a0Wednesday\u2019s<\/span><\/span>\u00a0stalemate was in two key issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lok Sabha saw uproar over the shoddy treatment faced by the mother and wife of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav <\/a>at the Pakistan Foreign Office in Islamabad earlier this week. Jadhav has been accused of being an Indian spy and is imprisoned in Pakistan while efforts by the Indian establishment for his release are afoot at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rajya Sabha too witnessed a ruckus created by the Opposition members over the recent controversial remark by Union minister for skill development, Anant Kumar Hegde, wherein he had claimed that the BJP had come to power at the Centre to \u201cchange the Constitution\u201d, indicating that his party wanted the word \u2018secular\u2019 deleted from the Preamble. Hegde had also slammed \u201csecularists\u201d, claiming that \u201cthey do not know their parentage\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Houses saw the Opposition hit out at the Centre over the two controversies. In the Lok Sabha, Union minister for external affairs said that she would be making a statement in Parliament\u00a0on Thursday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0giving a detailed account of the meeting between Jadhav and his mother and wife. However, Swaraj\u2019s assertion failed to pacify the Opposition members. Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan was forced to adjourn house proceedings twice \u2013 first soon after the House convened for Question Hour and then again shortly past\u00a0noon<\/span><\/span>. The House is set to reconvene at\u00a02 pm.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Though the government has listed four Bills, including the GST (Compensation to States) Amendment Bill, for consideration and passing, it appears that the day\u2019s proceedings \u2013 like those since the winter session commenced on December 15, will be a wash out.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Rajya Sabha, Opposition demand for the government to clarify its position on Hegde\u2019s obviously objectionable remarks forced Chairman Venkaiah Naidu to adjourn the proceedings till\u00a02 pm<\/span><\/span>\u00a0after minister of state for parliamentary affairs, Vijay Goel\u2019s submission that the government and the BJP did not endorse the Union minister\u2019s views failed to appease the protesting MPs. Three Bills have been listed by the Centre for consideration and passing by the Rajya Sabha\u00a0on Wednesday<\/span><\/span>, but their fate too now hangs in balance in light of the logjam.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
