The House resumed its proceedings at 2 pm following initial adjournments in the morning, during which the Opposition MPs raised slogans demanding a statement from the Home Minister on the security breach which saw two men jump in the Lok Sabha chamber and set off two smoke canisters.
The Chairman told the House he received 23 notices from members asking for suspension of the scheduled business of the day to discuss the “serious situation arising out of breach of security” under Rule 267 of the Rajya Sabha procedures.
AAP Leaders Raghav Chaddha, made certain hand gestures which Dhankar felt were inappropriate for the Parliament. Thus, he opposed to it and said, “Mr Chadha, you don’t have to do like this (imitating hand gesture) to raise a point. Use your tongue, don’t do that,” the Chairman said.
He also reminded Chaddha that he has once been suspended from the House during the Monsson session. … you were convicted, you were sentenced by this House,” the Chairman said.
The Rajya Sabha has been adjourned till 11 am on Monday.
