Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned for the day on July 20 as Opposition parties continued to protest over the issue of price rise. The Lower House alone discussed some issues under Rule 377 before adjourning for the day. The Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha have failed to transact any significant business so far since the Monsoon Session began on July 18.
Meanwhile, the BJP took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi saying the Congress leader may have been “unproductive politically” but he should not try to curb the legislature’s productivity.
The second day of the Monsoon session of Parliament also had to be adjourned without any substantial business transpiring as both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on July 19 witnessed disruptions and protests over price rise and the newly imposed goods and services tax (GST) on essential commodities.
