The Rajya Sabha witnessed disruptions for the eighth consecutive day on July 27, and faced repeated adjournments. The House passed a motion to suspend senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh. He is the 20th Opposition MP to be suspended for a week.
“Singh brought disrespect to the Chair through his behaviour,” Deputy Chairman Harivansh said.
Earlier in the day, Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu told the House that the adjournment motions moved by MPs such as Tiruchi Siva, Binoy Viswam and K.C. Venugopal on Goods and Services Tax (GST) can be taken up in the normal course. “I have already admitted some of them under other motions so I am not admitting them,” he said. The Opposition protested and Mr. Naidu adjourned the House till Noon without taking up the Zero Hour.
