Mar-03-2020

Rajya Sabha (RS) proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm after opposition and treasury benches indulged in a war of words over alleged hate speech by Union Minister Anurag Thakur in the run up to Delhi assembly polls and the violence in the national capital. The House, which could not transact any business due to opposition uproar over the Delhi violence, witnessed disruptions again.

Trouble broke out when Thakur, who has been under opposition attack over his alleged hate speech during the poll campaign for the Delhi assembly polls, was called to lay listed papers pertaining to his Finance Ministry on the table. Thakur, the Minister of State for Finance, rose to read a one-line statement laying listed papers on the table, he was booed by opposition benches.

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal rose to defend Thakur but this only resulted in heated arguments between the two sides. But the opposition and ruling members continued to clash with Congress. As heated arguments continued, Naidu said he would have no option but to adjourn proceedings if members did not want to run the business. However, heated exchanged continued forcing Naidu to adjourn proceedings till 2 pm.
