NEW DELHI, 
LOK Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Tuesday as the Opposition members continued their protest over the Adani issue. In Lok Sabha several Opposition leaders, dressed in black, raised slogans against the Government. As the House re-assembled at 2 pm after adjournment in the morning, Opposition members rushed to the Well of the House and raised slogans demanding a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe into the Adani issue. Amid din, papers, as well as reports, were laid on the table of the House.
As the Opposition members continued their protests and sloganeering while holding placards with ‘save democracy’ written on them, Rama Devi, who was in the Chair, adjourned the proceedings for the day. Earlier in the day, the Question Hour was again washed out and the proceedings were adjourned in less than a minute after the House convened for the day. As soon as the Upper House assembled at 2 pm after an adjournment in the morning, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar informed about the bills which were scheduled for discussion in the House. However, the Opposition MPs, several of them dressed in black, created a ruckus over the Adani issue.
In a statement in the House, Union Minister V K Singh corrected the answer to a starred question on behalf of his cabinet colleague Jyotiraditya Scindia given in Rajya Saha on February 6 regarding net loss incurred by the aviation industry. Immediately after that, Dhankhar adjourned the House till Wednesday. Earlier, Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 pm after members of the Congress and other parties started raising slogans such as ‘Modi-Adani Bhai Bhai’ as listed papers were being laid on the table of the House.
