The OBC Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha today amid multiple adjournments of both Houses. The Bill will allow states to draw up their own OBC list. Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned twice during the pre-lunch period amid continued uproar by opposition members.
Both Lok Sabha and Rajya House started off on a stormy note today and were adjourned till 12 noon amid protests. The proceedings have been hit over the last few weeks due to protests over the Pegasus snooping row, farm laws and other issues.
Members of the Congress, Trinamool and some other parties stormed the well carrying placards and started raising slogans in the Rajya Sabha. When the House met again at 12 PM, Deputy Chairman Harivansh started with the Question Hour even though opposition members trooped into the well and indulged in sloganeering.
The Question Hour continued despite the din by opposition members for around 30 minutes.
When the members raised their pitch amid continued slogan shouting, the Deputy Chairman adjourned the House till 2 PM and then later on till 4 pm.
The upper house has failed to transact any significant business due to the uproar created by opposition members, who are pressing for a discussion on the Pegasus snooping issue.
The Centre informed the Lok Sabha today that no decision has been taken to prepare National Register of Citizens (NRC) at the national level.
