The Rajya Sabha (RS) was adjourned for the day amid Opposition MPs protests over the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar. The house was adjourned soon after approving two statutory resolutions.
When the Upper House met at 2 pm after the adjournment around 11.45 am, Opposition MPs were on their feet demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar. Amid ruckus, Deputy Chairman Harivansh, took up two statutory resolutions, including one for extending the President’s rule in Manipur for another six months. He said it was a constitutional obligation, and told the members that the House has passed only one Bill in the session so far. The Chair also disallowed any remarks made by Opposition leaders on issues other than the resolution that was being taken.
Opposition MPs continued to raise slogans on the SIR issue, as a couple of members also tried to participate in the discussion on the resolution for extending President’s Rule in Manipur beyond August 13. However, the protests continued, the Chair then adjourned the House for the day.
The resolution to extend the President’s rule in Manipur, and the other one of the Finance Ministry to amend the Second Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, were passed by voice vote.
