The Lok Sabha witnessed four forced adjournments on Monday before being wound up for the day as members of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the AIADMK stalled the proceedings on separate issues.
The SP members were protesting against the Bill to provide quota in government job promotions for SC/ST employees. They wanted separate reservation for Muslims as the Sachhar committee had highlighted the poor economic and social conditions of Muslims in the country.
The AIADMK members were objecting to the long delay in providing digital conditional access licence to the Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation.
The AIADMK members raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha as well and they alleged that the Centre was not granting the licence to the Corporation for starting operations in Chennai even though it had granted the same to nine other multiple system operators (MSOs) who had applied later.
Amid interruptions, the Lok Sabha carried out a few business listed for the day which included a statement made by Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on the recent visit of Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik and zero hour submission by BJP member Yashwant Sinha. Mr. Sinha wanted India to suspend its dialogue with Pakistan till the latter brought the culprits of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks to book.

Protesting from well has now become a Parliamentary norm in our country. It appears that law maker’s does not like order but disorder.
They keep talking about 65 years’ old issue but always arrive to an open ended solution. Why not out of 546 members someone rises to make a law that common education system will be implemented to each and every village and city in our country. The moment such kind of laws seriously implemented, our country men and women would not be duped by the verities of reservation policy presented so far in our Parliament.
there are always adjournment without debates in our parliament. this
is what democracy means in India. The same Samajwadi Party walked out
of recent vote for FDI which could be a real litmus test for current
ruling government if they had voted against it.
Samajwadi Party , Bahujan Samajwadi and few more like Rashtriya Lok
dal are Bin Pendi Ke Laute. There is no ideological foundation to
these parties. They can move where ever the see their profit not the
people;s interest. I would ask people of India to take over the power
from these parties to their hands.
The cost of running LS runs into lakhs/crores and the Members knowing full well of the same take it as Previelge of going on various adjournmen motion,finally the LS never runs its fulltime in a day
more so in a month/year.The speaker has to call allthose personally in his chambers to advise them more prompt instead ofpulling thetime now and then.Alas there are verious senior leaders who look patheically
over what is happening
