Parliament Budget Session Day 5 Live Updates: The Lok Sabha resumed a day after protests and sloganeering led to repeated adjournments of the House, but was adjourned till Monday. The Motion of Thanks on the President's address was passed by voice vote on Thursday.
Since Monday, proceedings of the Lok Sabha have been washed out with the opposition, including Congress MPs, raising a storm over the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi not being allowed to talk in the House.
In the Rajya Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on the Motion of Thanks, taking a swipe at the Congress. "What happened yesterday -- the 'Yuvraj' of Congress, who has a 'shaatir dimaag' called a member of this House a traitor. His arrogance is at its peak. He did not call others who left Congress traitors, but he said it to this MP because he is a Sikh. This is an insult to Sikhs, an insult to the Gurus. This shows the hatred Congress carries," PM Modi said.
The Budget Session comprises 30 sittings over 65 days and concludes on April 2. The two Houses will adjourn for a recess on February 13 and reconvene on March 9.

UPA Brought Banking System To Teeter On Brink Of Collapse, Claims PM Modi
"Before 2014, there was a prevalent phone banking culture in which politicians would make calls to influence the disbursement of loans.

The poor were frequently denied access to credit, and nearly 50% of the population did not even have bank accounts. On the recommendation of Congress politicians, millions were lent to individuals who never repaid the money. During the UPA era, this led the banking system to teeter on the brink of collapse," PM Modi said.
