Union Minister Kiren Rijiju expresses displeasure over disruption in Parliament proceedings by Opposition

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has expressed displeasure over disruption of proceedings in Parliament by Opposition MPs. Mr Rijiju said that the government is ready for discussion on every issue as per the constitutional and parliamentary procedures and rules.
 
 
 
He said, Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar is sub-judice in Supreme Court and it cannot be discussed in the House. He said, discussing the SIR issue in Parliament would mean breaking the rules and conventions. He emphasized that rules are clear that discussion cannot be held on the working of autonomous bodies like Election Commission.
 
 
 
He urged the protesting members to allow the House to function as important bills are listed to take up. Amidst the noisy scene, Lok Sabha passed the Merchant Shipping Bill 2024 with amendments moved by Port, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbanada Sonowal. As the ruckus continued, the Presiding Officer adjourned the House for the day yesterday. 
 
 
 
Similar scenes were witnessed in the Rajya Sabha also. When the House assembled after the first adjournment at 2 PM, the opposition parties created ruckus in the House over the issue of Special Intensive Revision and other issues.
