Farmers’ issues, Adani row continue to rock Parliament

Hindustan Times  

The Opposition Congress and some other INDIA bloc members on Wednesday protested against the government over farmers’ issue and the Adani indictment matter, hampering proceedings in Parliament, which saw its first week of the ongoing winter session washout. Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar disallowed motions seeking setting aside of the business of the day to discuss the farmers’ issue, saying the “interest of farmers is not served by sloganeering and crocodile tears”. Earlier, Dhankhar rejected five notices under rule 267 to discuss farmers’ issues, the recent cyclone in Tamil Nadu, allegations of corruption and wrongdoing against Adani group and violence in Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, meanwhile, criticised the INDIA bloc, and particularly the Congress, alleging that the opposition’s actions demonstrated a clear disregard for the Constitution, highlighting their “fragmented approach” to critical issues.
