Opposition protests in both Houses of Parliament disrupted yet another day of proceedings, with the Opposition stepping up attack on the Centre over the alleged use of central investigating agencies to target political rivals.
On the 14th day of the Monsoon Session, the Lok Sabha proceedings were first adjourned until 2 p.m. and then adjourned for the rest of the day as protesting members of the Opposition continued to raise slogans against the “use of ED” by the government. Rajya Sabha, first adjourned till noon due to protests on the same issue, held the Question Hour amidst loud sloganeering before being adjourned again till 2 p.m. Protests and sloganeering continued as it took up the Family Courts (Amendment) Bill, 2022 for consideration and passing. The Bill was passed amid chaos just before the House was adjourned for the day.
Both Houses will resume proceedings at 11 am on Friday, August 5.
