Logjam in Parliament as Shah urges Opposition to allow truth to come out on Manipur issue; AAP MP Sanjay Singh suspended

The Hindu  

As the logjam in Parliament persisted for the third day, Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday asked the Opposition to allow a debate on the Manipur issue to begin but both sides stood rigid on their stand while AAP MP Sanjay Sanjay Singh was suspended during uproar in the Upper House for the rest of the monsoon session. Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh, one of the more vocal voices in Rajya Sabha, was suspended for repeatedly "violating" the directives of the Chair after he rushed to the well of the House and pointed at the Chair during protest by opposition members on the Manipur issue. Party leader Jairam Ramesh said parliament did not function for the third day because of the "continued refusal of the Modi Government to accept the demand of INDIA parties for a comprehensive statement by the Prime Minister in the House on the post-May 3rd situation in Manipur to be followed by a discussion". Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP sources said, has spoken to opposition leaders, including Mr. Mallikarjun Kharge of the Congress and DMK leader T. R. Baalu, in an attempt to break the impasse but in vain.
