Rajya Sabha proceedings adjourned for the day Monday as Opposition parties continued their protest over the Pegasus snooping row, farm laws and other issues, with the Congress, TMC and DMK also staging a walkout.
However, the treasury benches managed to get Rajya Sabha approval for two bills -- The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021 and the Central Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2021.
Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day and would resume at 11 am on Tuesday.
The Lower House was adjourned five times. Earlier, it was adjourned till 11:30 am, 12 noon, 12:30 pm and 2 pm amid ruckus by the opposition MPs in the House.
Congress MP Manish Tewari has suggested that the Opposition consider bringing a vote of a no-confidence motion against the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government as the stalemate in Parliament continues over the issues including farmers' agitation, Pegasus issue and COVID-19 mismanagement.
More than Rs 133 crore in taxpayer money has been lost because of Parliament disruptions in the monsoon session, government sources said last month.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has attacked the Congress, accusing it of not allowing the monsoon session of parliament to function, and asked BJP MPs to "expose the party before the public and the media".
The Monsoon Session commenced on July 19 and is scheduled to continue till August 13.
