Proceedings on the sixth day of the ongoing Monsoon Session resumed at 2 p.m, instead of 11 a.m., following the swearing-in ceremony of Droupadi Murmu as the 15th President of India on Monday at the Parliament House.
Several adjournments continued to disrupt both Houses and they adjourned for an hour till 3 p.m. a few minutes after convening amid Opposition sloganeering and protest. Four Congress members Manickam Tagore, T N Prathapan, Ramya Haridas and Jothimani were suspended for the entire Monsoon Session for waving placards in the House. Later the Lok Sabha adjourned for the day.
Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha, also hit by several disruptions, continued to discuss the The Weapons of Mass Destruction and their Delivery Systems (Prohibition of Unlawful Activities) Amendment Bill, 2022, amid loud sloganeering by the Opposition side. The Upper House also adjourned at 5:50 p.m. shifting the consideration and passing of the Bill, as well as the Minister’s statement on it to Tuesday.
